Time Of The Month During Your Surgery?



Recommended Posts

Mine was six days late and started the morning of my surgery. I was pissed! I thought they were going to give me disposable panties. The nurse told me to put some gause pads in my crotch ummm no thanks. She let me wear a tampon.

I started the morning after surgery, which was a week early! I had my surgery done at Medical City Dallas which caters to WLS patients. My nurse said it is very common, though they don't know why???!!!???

OMG! So glad this question was posted because I am due for surgery on Thursday and this morning I have the familiar rumblings of an approching period. grrrrrr!! My question is will I be able to bend enough to insert a tampon or will the post op pain be too bad to allow for this? I don't want to wear the mess panties and pad and risk bleeding all over myself because I'm forced into being in a laying position....anwers please ladies?

My period came yesterday, two days after surgery. Last month it came late, so I though I was in the clear. Since the stress of surgery, it decided to come two week early.

I am going to have that issue too! Hope they allow me to have panties and a pad....I am early but I think is because I have lost 16 pounds since day one of my liquid diet.< /p>

I have been losing quick too. I am 11 lbs down from Sunday morning (Its Saturday am now). Also, I tend to put on 4-6 lbs the first day of my period and I still lost since yesterday. My husband was joking and said if I keep this up, in 2 months I'm going to be on maintenance already. Wouldn't that be nice. haha

In a week? What has your diet consist of

I am having between 70-90 grams of Protein and about 28 grams of carbs a day. I also am drinking TONS of fluids, broth, crystal lite and Jello (sugar free). My Protein drinks are EAS Carb control and GNC 100% whey Protein over the course of a day. Also, I get one sugar free popsicle a day and of course all Vitamins have at least 1g of carb so I add that to my 30 or less carb count.

I was kinda lucky. My period came early, on the Thursday before my Tuesday surgery, but since tuesday was my last day, it lingered a teeny bit.

It's actually the Lovenox that made it kinda linger. The blood thinner injections they gave me! I had one every 8 hours in the hospital.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
