Hey Guys,

Hope everyone is well. I haven't been around for quite a while due to being really busy at work, and just generally getting back into routine and "normal life" after my op.

Everything has been going great, hit a two-week stall but finally came out the other side this morning which is a relief. I am now down 30lb! Hooray!

I have noticed one thing though, which is that I have been feeling nauseous a lot over the past week. Like actually urging at the slightest thing, especially in the morning when trying to take my tablets. I had no trouble whatsoever with feeling sick until now, and as I am almost 8 weeks out I would have thought it would have affected me before now if it was going to.

Then tonight I realised that my period is three days late...

Now I realise that a) it isnt' VERY late yet, and I am probably worrying for nothing, B) weight loss can affect your periods, c) I have been on the pill and therefore highly unlikely that I am pregnant.

But I still can't help worrying. I wish it wasn't so late in the evening so I could go and buy a test to put my mind at rest. Nowhere sells them at this time of night here.

My body has been through a lot over the last couple of months, so I wouldn't be surprised if my hormones are totally messed up. Hy head tells me that my period will start soon and I am being silly, there is nothing to worry about.... but my heart feels like it is going to go pop.

I know that no-one can tell me the answer, but I just needed to type it out. Somehow it helps!

Thanks for listening. Cross your fingers for me! xx

My periods were completely messed up during the losing phase and I was on a low-dose birth control. I didn't even have a period for a couple of months.

Fingers crossed for you!

If I were you I would get a test ASAP just to know for sure...

Got a test... it was negative... period started about ten minutes later. Typical!

I am trying not to admit that I'm ever so slightly disappointed, I was getting used to the idea! Oh well, so soon out of surgery it is for the best. Can't really afford a family just now anyhow.

So I'm a bit :( and a bit :)

lol xx

Awww, hugs. I know it doesn't help, but probably giving your body more time to heal will end up with a healthier pregnancy in the future. It's okay to feel sad...hang in there!

They stressed to me before I left the hospital and at my post op not to get pregant, so it's probably a good thing. It gives you time to heal properly :). Hugs

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
