It's been a while...

I had a hysterectomy 6 years ago and have not had PMS symptoms in nearly a year. But just this week my breasts have been so tender...even THINKING about them hurts! I am also bloated, retaining Water and have back pain. Sound familiar ladies?

Anyway, I wondered if the surgery may have somehow triggered these symptoms to return?

Fat loss releases hormones into your system that were trapped in the fat cells. This makes sense, though it does not sound pleasant. All the best to you on your journey!

My Dr. told me the same thing. Good luck

It will probably pass. I had a hysterectomy in my 40's, almost 60 now, and stopped HRT just prior to surgery in March. My boobs got so sore and stayed sore for a few weeks, now it's gone. I have not returned to HRT, and feel great without it. Before I needed it because I was so dang hot all the time, but not now!

Congrats on your weight loss. I've been losing and I'm not sure how. I haven't been sleeved yet... July 9th is my day. I'm so ready for my hormones to get under control.

I had a total hyst at 30 and have been a burning inferno since, but since the weight started coming off the symptoms are going away. Talked to my surg about it at my 8 week and he said don't stop the hrt yet, talk to my gyn but it was okay to half the dosage. Sooo excited about this side effect of vsg! :~)

Oh Praise the Lord....is it really possible Menopause symptoms can get better or go away?? I had a total hyster at 32 and have been on HRT, finally with a combination of Estrodiol & Effexor I feel human again, but still constantly burning up, sweating constantly & still drench the bed when sleeping.

I was afraid my HRT may hinder my weight loss....but never thought about the symptoms getting better ;-) yeah for VSG!!!!

This is very helpful. I had both of my ovaries removed due to cysts and don't get periods at all, unless I take birth control pills (for the hormones). Well I decided I liked not getting periods so I stopped taking the birth control pills months ago and hadn't had a period in about 7-8 months. Then I started to get cramps a week post-op and had my period for a week! I didn't even have a period for a whole week when I had two good ovaries. I hate it!

I haven't had anything taken out but I have been having horrible breakouts, horrible periods and hot flashes. My Dr. says it is the change in my hormones due to the weight I have recently lost. She says it will level out when I get to a stable weight.

Crazy hormones for 3 - 4 weeks, easy. Slowly tapering off. My smooth skin was broken out like a pepperoni pizza, and that was just the start of it. I've had 2 TOMs since then. Moderate breakout the first, 2 or 3 pimples the last, but they went away in a day.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
