Soo......I thought I had my timing close enough to perfect but now fear with surgery on June 21s that I will be starting/in midst of my period. I usually have cramps and just wondering if anyone else had this happen. Was it terrible or does it just make the need for heating pad and drugs seem even more reasonable?

I started on my second day post-op. Not sure what it is that makes that common, but I was warned by my NUT that I needed to take pads to the hospital. I thought she was crazy...

My period started during my surgery. The cramps were definitely amplified that day. I'd brought two heating pads with me, so that I could have one behind my back and one on the lower part of my stomach (it didn't interfere with the incisions). I asked for more pain medicine, and it helped to zap a lot of the pain. I also asked for medicine to help me sleep because hormonal fluctuations often cause temporary insomnia for me. Beyond that I really didn't have much pain or discomfort. By the second day I was fine.

I recommend bringing heating pads and a small extension cord so you can plug them in without needing to unplug anything else already in the room.

My hospital would not have allowed heating pads due to fire hazard and burn risk. However they did have chemical heat packs that they gave me for some back pain I had due to bed positioning.

Thank you to everyone! Was there any restriction on using tampon during surgery?

I could not wear a tampon or pad during the actual surgery. It was gross.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
