I'm on birth control pills faithfully and its not time for my.perioid but I started spotting a bit and feel like I might start. Did this happen to anyone else?? I'm.wondering if its just the change in my body from surgery and diet or what.

YES! I can tell you from personal experience that losing weight and becoming healthy will make your hormones balance out. First of all, feminine hormones are stored in your fat cells, and as you lose weight, everything's probably going to be wonky for a little bit, and then will normalize. In my case, it made me balanced out enough to become pregnant, which is something that I never thought would happen to me, and hadn't happened for 9 years. Although I lost the baby, it was a huge sign that my body is leaning towards doing what it's supposed to be doing.

Don't worry too much! You're just getting healthier.

I have an IUD, and am 10 days post op. Since surgery I have been spotting twice; which is completely out of the norm for me with the IUD. Everything I researched said it could happen, spotting, so I wouldn't worry unless it gets worse than spotting.

I had my period a couple weeks after surgery and I was on birth control too.

Yep, it's no longer just spotting....yay :mellow:

This is completely abnormal for me because I am on seasonique where I only have 1 every 3 months....so not digging this!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
