So you are saying I probably have another week of this? Oh my goodness! Tampons and pads cost too much to have to buy so many in such a short amount of time.

I had a two and a half week break, then it started up again, and it is HEAVY! Like, changing tampons EVERY HOUR! Crazy. So, after getting annoyed of going to Walgreens practically every day, I went to costco and got me MAJOR boxes of tampons and pads. I'm pretty sure I have a three month supply. (Embarassingly enough, on my way out the door, I saw my boss's boss... so bad, but who cares, I have a BOATLOAD!) :smile2:

Good luck slim... I feel ya.

Oh man...I've never had a problem with my period...even with PCOS. I have always gotten my period every 28 days...UNTIL NOW! I've had my period five times in 2 months. I went to see my ob/gyn two weeks ago and she said that it was normal and went on to explain that the drastic fluxuation in estrogen levels causes it and will eventually stablize. I thought it was going to start again yesterday, but I only spotted for a few hours.

costco was a GREAT deal too, about half (or even less) than in the regular stores. I spend 12 dollars for 84 tampons... Tampax Pearl, my fave's.

Thanks, I will go to our Sam's Club and get their huge box. I hadn't thought of that. I buy Tampax Pearl, too. I will be really glad when this part is OVER!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
