I heard that losing fat quickly releases estrogen that is stored in fat. Could that be it? I feel like I've been PMSing since surgery.

I have a inplanon for birth control in my arm, I have had it for 2 yrs now. The whole time I've had it I only had aunt flow 3 times (in 2 yrs). I was sleeved on Aug 2nd and have been with aunt flow every other week since then. Soon as she leaves she comes back like she forgot something. I talked to my dr and he said its because ur body is going tho shock right now with the major changes, and this is normal. He said once my body figures out that my stomach ain't coming home it will go back to normal. I sure hope so. Good luck and ur not alone.

When I was on HCG, this happened to me as well. I was on my period for over a month one time. It scared the crap out of me.

I'm implanon too and was loving it. Exactly the same scenario. I hope to get my good undies back out of the top drawer sometime in the near future.

I hadn't had a period since April of this year. I just thought it was menopause. Well, 5 days after the surgery, it started. The doctor said that wasn't unusual because of the release of estrogen stored in the fat were burning. Fortunately, mine wasn't that bad, but it did start again yesterday. What the hoo?

Glad I found this thread! I haven't had a period since last July and thought I was done with all this. Last week I started having a bit of a discharge and it looks like today it's going to be a full on period. Anyone have an idea of how long this is supposed to last (the release of all the hormones, I mean.) I'm hoping this doesn't start up the factory again!

      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
