So, I bled right after surgery but found it wasn't my period but just a reaction to anesthesia or meds. So im almost 5 weeks out and now have my period. It is sooo heavy and all of my symptoms are strong. Is this common? I just never really get it this bad.

Your hormones might be out of whack. I heard they can go a little crazy after surgery, so maybe they're a little stronger and causing your symptoms to be worse?

Yes hormones are crazy after surgery. Also, don't forget that hormones are stored in fat. So, as you burn with Ketosis you also release a grip of hormones into your body. Feel better hon!
