Heat is your friend when it comes to period pain, and can help almost as much as stronger NSAIDS which you're not supposed to take post-WLS. You may not have a ho****er bottle, but you can improvise one by filling a plastic soda bottle or similar with ho****er. Cover it in fabric, and place it on your lower abdomen.
When that's not practical (e.g., you're at work), drink hot tea. Drink it while it's as hot as you can comfortably manage it. Herbal tea is best. I prefer chamomile because, according to tradition, it's supposed to help with period pain. I don't know if the chamomile itself actually does anything, but just thinking about the tradition comforts me. In any case, the heat of the tea does help.
One advantage of the heat is that it works almost immediately, unlike medication.
Love these NSV's!! So many take for granted that last one on your list..lol

Awesome! And yes that is a great thing to do :) Focus on all the reasons and positives :)
Thanks. I actually had my doctor put me on birth control a month ago, because if I dont, I get my period every two weeks when not eating a lot of carbs. I made it 3 weeks this time but it is awful. I will have to ask if I can do the cream and the pills at the same time. I used to be able to take ibuprofen to manage it, but my surgeon said to switch to acetaminophen which does nothing for me
You are being flooded with the estrogen that is stored in the fat.
You can either stick it out, or buy a bottle of progesterone cream and be balanced out in a few days. One pump of cream applied to inner arm daily for three weeks, and then take a week off. If you are still having periods, you take period week off. If you are past menopause, you just pick the week to take off

One of the unexpected things that has come with losing weight quickly is the release of all the stored hormones. I feel like I'm going through second puberty. It is gross AF. Hoping it mellows out. Telling myself its temporary. Just had to complain.
Thanks ima have to check into that and see how it is. When i first got a lot cheaper then recommended protein shake. I got IdealShape its a brand my mother used when she did her sleeve and i noticed that the nutrition wasn't as good as the ones that were recommended. My NUT suggested me to have this
Genpro
Stuffs not bad its what i add to my soup. But I will look into that kind sounds like it might be tolerable.
