Tmi Warning; Menstrual Cycle



Recommended Posts

I think my first few cycles before surgery were pretty heavy, but now they have started to lighten up a lot. Not sure if that's normal but I'm not complaining!!

I got mine the morning of surgery....the docs were so kind and thoughtful' date=' they made no big deal just told me to leave my unders and bottoms on...they removed them after I was out, so not so humiliating for me...And allowed me a shower as soon as I woke from recovery to take care of things...[/quote']

I too was on my period during the procedure...they left my undies on me too! They just warned me they might be discolored by the yellow stuff they rub all over.

I've actually had two periods since my surgery. I had one as soon as I got home from the hospital and then one starting earlier this week. I asked my doctor about it and he said it was due to the anesthesia. I hope I get back to normal soon.

I got a surprise and very heavy period a week post op.

My husband and son have been my biggest irritant when it comes to food...they go buy cakes Cookies brownies and crap and come home and sit and make mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm sounds....feels almost deliberate sometimes... I'm getting good at ignoring bad behavior

That is beyond rude. Just picture them as grunting piggies and then laugh.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
