I am having my surgery in 4 days and I am just about to start my period. Anyone else have to deal with this on day of surgery and first few days after? I'm so frustrated about having to deal with the whole situation including extra pain.

Yes!!! I got mine the day before surgery. It was very unwelcome. It was hard to deal with that during surgery (you can't wear a tampon and had to wear mesh underwear and a big pad) and afterwards I could use a tampon but to bend down to put in was so painful. Sorry, maybe the stress Of not eating presurgery will delay it. No other major issue with it, just annoying and could have definitely done without it. Period.

im so happy someone asked this cause I'm 7 days away from surgery and i can tell my period is coming so if i literally don't have it today or tomorrow I will either be on the last day of it or on it during surgery and that sucks! "and I have pcos and hardly even get my period, so what a time to -_-"

I started my period the day before surgery and there was no issue. And honestly, while in hospital i didnt even worry about it. I mean i wanted to shower and stuff and was eventually able to the next day, & i hope this doesnt gross anyone out but i didnt even worry about pads or anything. I brought them with me and ended up not using them and just laying on a big pee pad looking thing they put down anyway.

      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'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? 🤷‍♀️
