Good Afternoon ladies, question. Are your menstrual cramps worst after surgery? My surgery date was 3/13, 12 days post op. I feel like I'm in my death bed, I'm also experiencing lack of energy my body feels so tired. What are some of your experiences post op? And how did you deal with them?

Unreal! I never had pain menstruating before surgery and my first cycle was excruciating. The cramping was so strong. And the weakness...just wiped me out

Eat more foods containing it, liver if you like it, is one of the best. Try to also to get in Orange juice or other citrus , the Vitamin C helps your body with assimilation. Most any food list should tell you what else has a high %of iron. I think beets are also pretty good[emoji12]

Sounds great but I'm still at the early stages of my surgery (puree foods). No fruits as of yet.

If you are not able to take iron pills, years ago I had to take I think Ferrous Gluconate, not tiny pills but maybe they have smaller ones these days. Worst case: iron injections, whoeee those aren't fun but you do what you have to do to get and stay healthy[emoji7]
