Since I got surgery I have noticed my periods are getting extremely bad. Not only the pain but the clots are huge. The first month I went to the ER and they told me to see a GYN. I got into one a few weeks later. They said to take Acetaminophen. I can't just keep taking it for at a giving birth.

I had surgery 8/21/13 and my first period post-op was horrible. Before surgery it was: day 1 spot, day 2 heavy and day 3 spot. This time was spot only the first and last day. There was 5 days of heavy bleeding and small to medium clots. The cramping was so bad. Tylenol or Lortab didn't even help. I was stuck laying down with a heating pad for a week. I will see what my next period is like...if anything like my last I will go and see a gyn. Did you go to the doctor yet?

Welcome to the wonderful world of normal periods. The bigger you are the less of a period you have. The smaller you get the worse they become. Wait until the frequency gets all messed up while your body adjusts. Not to be the bearer of bad news but it's bad. But you're becoming a normal sized human being now. There's going to be trade-offs.

My period was worse the heavier I was. Started at 353 and would have a very heavy period for 3 to 4 days the spot for a couple. Now 124 pounds down I get it for 3 days and I'm done. The cramps on the other hand are so much worse. Hope it gets better for you.

I've always had a super regular, set your watch by it period. Once I went in that 1200 calorie diet, that went out the window. No period all summer then on Monday I had surgery and when I started walking around that night, my period started.

I had several injections of blood thinners while in the hospital so the period wasnt pretty. Add that to the fact that bending over to insert a tampon was virtually impossible, it's been a pretty miserable week for me on the girly front. I hope to be back to regular periods soon!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
