I'm having trouble eating during the week before and during my period.

This is only my third cycle since surgery, but I've noticed that the week before and during my period I have trouble eating and keeping food down. I eat the same things as other times but notice that many things (especially the starches and dairy products) don't agree with me and I end up having to vomit. So, I tend to try not to eat in order to avoid getting sick and instead try to drink more fluids. I've also noticed feeling really lethargic and sometimes my head feels spacey. It's hard to tell if this is due to the surgery, the anti-depressents I take, or simply from having my period. Has anyone else experienced these problems? Also, does anyone know if it's okay to take ibuprofen for pain after having surgery?
