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 :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
