Any ladies have problem with their periods after surgery??



Recommended Posts

OK, sorry if this is too much information BUT...

I am almost exactly a month out of surgery... I had my period right before surgery (in fact it finished the day before my surgery) and I was due to have it again last week on Tuesday... it's now more than a week late, and I'M NEVER late! Nope, I'm not pregnant because I was following Dr's orders no sex for 4-5 weeks after surgery... so there's been none of that business going on!!:001_tongue: (my poor hubby!!)

Just wondering if it's my body holding on to everything seeing as I've lost 30 lbs in a month... maybe my body thinks I'm starving and is trying to maintain/hold on to whatever it can??

Any other ladies experience this at all?:blushing:

My cycle was off the first 2 months post-op. It finally regulated to where I can actually chart my ovulation for the last 3 months. Good news is now my cycle is super light, and a day shorter.

It's the hormones throwing everything out of whack.

What perfect timing! I was just thinking about posting the same question but I'm only a few days late. I assumed my body was just trying to figure out what the heck I'd done to it. Enjoy it while we can, right?!

Guess what else? I'm two weeks and two days post op and it seems I've hit my first stall! That was NOT going to happen to me!!!! :001_tongue: Oh well, just gonna ride it out and not weigh everyday anymore, maybe twice a week until it starts moving again anyway, as it ruins my day. I know I'm getting smaller, I just wish the scale agreed, for once. Hit a brick wall at exactly two weeks out. Perfect.

Sorry for rambling!

So Tiffy, did you get it at all during the first 2 months? I sure am looking forward to lighter and a day less!! That's ANOTHER perk to this surgery!!:thumbup:

Haha, you're welcome! You're right I AM going to enjoy it while I can!

I hit my first stall at the end of 2 weeks when I started mushies.. it lasted a week and a half and then it started moving again. THEN when I was expecting my period last week it stalled AGAIN for a week, it just started moving again yesterday... I STILL weigh myself every day though. It was TOTALLY frustrating not seeing any progress, but I just kept saying it WILL start up again, it WILL start up again! I figured it took me YEARS to put all this weight on, I should be more patient in trying to get it off! :blush:

The change in my periods was that I actually got one! I was so irregular prior to surgery that I would go months without, then suddenly when I started the pre-op diet I got one & exactly one cycle later I got it again. Crazy what shedding some pounds can do for us!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
