That's how mine were before surgery. I was shocked when I started my period RIGHT on schedule on the 17th because it was on time and I had no crazy cramping as a warning. Good luck Hun.

Mine haven't ever been like that, but I used to get cramps as a warning it was coming too. Didn't this time. Thankfully it came when I went to go pee before bed. And pretty sure I went to bed it's over. Basically 3.5 days. I'll take it. Haha

Me too! Well I was peeing before going out to meet a friend and I was wearing white pants and all. Had to change and grab tampons. I used to have 7-10 day long periods with a two day break in between. So when my period stopped at day 4 I wasn't surprised. But I was so surprised it didn't come back. It was amazing!

Yeah. I'll have to see if it is really gone this time. I have also had it where it stopped for a day or two, then I'd spot, nothing, spot, etc. But the period I had a few weeks prior to surgery (I had been off bc for a month) and this one were both short. And after stopping the Bc in January, my period came on like click work in Feb, and not again till now.. If going of bc will help me to be regular again, I'm not going back on it. Haha. I've had stuck won't l wonky periods the last few years, that I'm ready for regular ones. Hah.

I hate being a girl when it's shark week. Hahaha

I just assumed my period was more on time because of the hormone reset I have been experiencing since the sleeve. I hope when I go back on BC I will still have nice short on-time periods.

Yeah. I'm opposite. Hah. Never had "regular" periods in the pill. My favorite ones were the 55 abd 47 days periods I had, with only 30 days between them. Thankfully that was about 2 years ago. But they still weren't normal or short. Uggggg.

Omg. That's terrible. I me ER went past 3 week periods. I use the nuvaring and usually just leave it in and don't have a period. It keeps everyone much happier. I go back on BC next period. Wahoo!

Yeah. The amount of money I spent on tampons... Oh I got to a point that I would take the 3 weeks of pills as many packs as I could until my body just would finally bleed. Sometimes it'd be 3 but sometimes 4-4.5 packs. I hate periods so I'd go as long as I could. I was on depo for probably half my life too. I miss that stuff. Hahaha

I feel reeeeeeally fortunate. I started my period monday before I went to bed. I think its already pretty much done. I also had almost no cramps. However, Tuesday and yesterday it was SUPER heavy flow. Like, changing tampons every 3-4 hours. Regular or super ones. Which its never like that for me. I also feel lucky that I can take the pain meds on an empty stomach with no problems. Glad it was an easy fix though!

Ugh..:I'm still waiting for mine to come! I typically get it every 35 days...it's passed that now! Wondering if the weight loss has affected it. Now I just sit and wait, terrified, wondering when it will surprise me lol ;)

So my goal was to lose 10lbs by easter, I wanted to be 230. Originally I wanted I lose that by April 8th bc it's my 30th bday, but I've been such a SLoW loser compared to some people that it just didn't seem possible. I weighed 240 on 3/23. Had. 2 week stall, and in the 3rd week by 3/31 dropped down to 237. Typically I only weigh on Mondays so I don't get crazy. But it seemed like every day this week I lost weight! Fast forward to today- I hopped on the scale and I weighed 233! Wow!!! I just might come close to hitting 230 by Tuesday! It would make me SO happy because I have to get y drivers license picture renewed and every pound counts! Even if I don't make it to 225 til easter, I haven't weighed that since college 11 years ago! This is crazy. I stepped on the scale a few times today not because I'm obsessing but because I just couldn't believe t! Sorry for all the rambling :)

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
