Post Surgical Period



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on 7/30 and my period started 8/1, 2 weeks early. That's all I wanted to deal with in my first couple days of recovery. It seems to be very heavy this time and usually I have very light periods. Has anyone else had this issue? Did your period start early after surgery and was it heavier than normal?

Surgery plays havoc with ur hormones post op, hence the effect on periods. It settles and things go back to normal. But it can be a bummer coping with that and everything else all in the week after surgery, lol'

I got mine 2 days after surgery too. The nurses at the hospital said it's very common and most likely from the stress and trauma on our bodies.....

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
