Do I stop having a period now??



Recommended Posts

OK. Gross topic, I know. But I am supposed to be on my period now. And I can't even say that I am spotting. Maybe a tiny little bit, but that is it. Is this normal? :confused1: It has been a month since I got my sleeve.

Thanks,

Stacey

I'm with ya... Granted, I've been getting more irregular as I get older anyway (44) and my mom was done with everything by the time she was 48, but I was already a week late at surgery (8 days ago), expected it to start with a bang right afterward like it does for so many people, and still nothing (and NO, they did a pg test right before surgery and I'm definitely not pregnant LOL)... I'm kinda curious too!

I am 5 months out and my period has been all over the map. I spoke with my PCP about it and he said this surgery sends your hormones all out of whack for about a year. I would not worry about it.

Are you *sure* you are not preg?

My period got lighter and shorter since surgery. I actually downloaded a fertility application for my IPhone so I could chart because it was driving me crazy. My cycle went from all over the place, to every 30-33 days now. I have 1 day of spotting, one heavier day, then one super light to spotty day, and it's over.

It's all hormonal. Mine didn't regulate out until the 3rd month out, and now it's more regular and I can actually tell right before.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
