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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
