I was banded 6 months ago. For the past year or so, I've been on a 28 day cycle, and I knew when I would get TOM. I even got it right on time 3 days after surgery. Now I'm late, I was due on Thursday and today is monday, I have been PMSing like crazy and I am bloated. I just hit onederland last week and now I'm struggling to stay in it. I do know once TOM finally comes it will hopefully come off, but I'm waiting for it. To answer the question in everyones mind, no, there is no possible way I am pregnant. (I'm 28 and due to weight, confidence, and self esteem issues, I've never even kissed a guy :() Has anyone had this happen. Id say the only thing that is different is my mom recommended B Complex and B 6 to help control TOM symptoms I'd been having. The complex I was taking last month and I'd started taking the B 6 like a week prior to last months TOM. Any advice? I don't know if this seems stupid to ask, but due to the bloating I'm about ready to cry (that sounds stupid), but it is getting me so frusterated, I go to kickboxing 6 days a week, I actually took today off though to see if that would entice her to come, but may make up for it by going twice tomorrow, depending on how I feel. Please help me. TIA

Hello, weight changes can definitely cause Aunt Flo to be late or to even skip a month. I'll bet you're just late. If it gets to be an issue see your gyno and they can help. Even better they can give you a shot to keep it away for months.

I am having the same issues - have not had TOM for 2 months - my doc said due to excercise and weight loss that is probably the reason -

Jess...don't stress that will just prolong things. Relax, drink lots of Water or crystal lite or whatever and keep following the rules. Your TOM will come and you will dump the water weight.

Yeah it's starting now. I've been drinking so much trying to get rid of the bloating. Hopefully it will go now that it's starting

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
