Question for the ladies.....

So I have noticed that I have been incredibly cranky for the last few days - felt very anxious and on edge, fun stuff; and then last night my cycle started - 3 days early. I know that probably doesn't sound abnormal to most, but mine is like clock work - always has been, and the PMS? NEVER like this. So I was wondering, has anyone esle had this experieince since getting your band? I got mine 1/5 /2011, so I am wondering if this is related to my surgery?

I think he most basic way to explain it is, weight loss causes horomone changes, which in turn mess with your cycle. For some, it's a good thing, for some it's bad. Personally, my cycle has gotten shorter, and my last period was a light 3 days. That is a big big difference from how it was before. Your cycle will eventually even back out again, but it may ake some time.

Saraboo is right on target. Chalk it up to hormone changes, which were precipitated by weight loss (fewer female hormones being released by fat cells). If you're keen to avoid a period for a while talk to your Dr about taking a birth control pill for 3 months at a time, it's not going to harm you, and will help get you back on track during your weight loss.
