OMG!.... how was your first period after surgery..... I jus got mine yesterday and I am in so much pain ..... please recommend something .... so much pain[emoji17]

please help

My first one was horrible, heavy and cramps. I thought I would need to get a transfusion after. Make sure you are eating foods with high iron to compensate. I used a warm compress for cramps. The next few months were heavier but not as bad and now at 8 months it is almost back to my normal.

ty... toda has been such an aweful day ...major cramps.... feel like im abt to give birth again??‍♀️..lol hope to god next month is better

Also worst thing is i can only drink Tylenol ....

I had the same experience as 2Bsmaller18...it was bad. It's the hormones that are out of wack. You know the portion of our stomach that was removed played a major part in hormone production, so it just takes time to get right again. I'm 8 months post op and they are normal and I'm on birth control again. I just took pamprin and Tylenol. Hang in there lady ?

All good here

Currently having my first one since surgery...a whole 11 weeks later lol....and man, she came with a vengeance. I have never bled so badly and hurt so much. Yikes! ?

Thanks for the heads up! I started the day after surgery and it was regular. So I should be starting in a week, kinda nervous now!

Mine came about 1 week after surgery and it was the worst cramps I ever experienced. I literally had to take the Percocet my doc gave me for the surgical recovery pain. I couldn't eat/drink any thing for 2 days. Vomited any thing I tried to consume. The second one however was ok. Tylenol controlled the pain.

I'm having surgery in November/December and this hasn't even crossed my mind. Thank you for the heads up!! Just changing diets has affected mine.

Just the fact that I even got my period was a surprise. I hadn’t had it in MONTHS prior to surgery, and only a handful of times 2-3 years before that. It lasted over a week (when it only used to last 4-ish days when I did get it).

Since then, it’s come like clockwork every single month (almost 2 years now post-op).

I guess I wasn’t pre-menopausal after all...just overweight ?

Uhm... why did I not think about this before ???

Mine was late before surgery, and of course it started the day after I had surgery. [emoji849]
It wasn't too bad at least.

Mine was horrible too in fact I posted just like you!!! It sucked hopefully this months is better I’m waiting lol
