I was finishing up day of surgery and it started back up very heavy the day after surgery, because of the blood thinners, mine was super crazy before surgery, i am finally getting back to it being semi regular

I put my Nuvaring in a week early so I wouldn't have a period during my first few weeks of recovery (it was due 3 days before my surgery). Two days after my procedure I got it anyway, even with the NuvaRing in. It was heavy @ lasted the full 7 days. I read somewhere that the stress of the procedure and the anesthesia can bring it on. Don't know about missing it though.

Obviously not from my own experience, but, rapid weight loss will have an effect on this due to all of the estrogen that has been stored in the fat cells being dumped into your bloodstream as the fat goes away.

Not until recently, I had one 8/21 then 9/7...but then it hit like clockwork on 10/5 - the "new" schedule. So at a little after 8 months out - but I am also coming up on my 39th birthday so that could have something to do with it too. I was always very regular, with the exception of several years ago, when I was at my very heaviest.

I have not had one since July. I had surgery Aug 6 and have not had a period. Pregnancy test is negative so I am not sure what is going on with my body.

I've only had one since surgery but it was 7 days late (my TOM ran like clockwork every 28 days exactly pre op) and then I had HORRIBLE cramps for 5 days before I actually started. Then, the day it stopped I started getting hot flashes! LOL had the hot flashes for 2 days and now I'm back to 'normal' me again hahaha I'm definitely not in menopause and my doctor said that all the weirdness is a direct result of all the estrogen that is getting dumped into my system as I burn fat. This too shall pass... eventually. LOL

I had surgery 8/20 and my curse was due 8/27, came a few days late. No biggie. My second post op period took 44 days to come. My surgeon said this is normal. Not worried about it. More irritated since my curse was fairly predictable pre-op.

The only reason I was on time (every 28 days) pre-op was because of being on birth control pills, otherwise I was very irregular, always have been. I had surgery 10/2, stopped taking the pill 1 day before surgery, and haven't had my period since surgery. I fully expected it to be irregular though due to all the changes going on with my body. I know I'm not pregnant, so as long as I know that, I'm good with not having my period! lol

I have been on the pill and before surgery my period wouldn't start until the fourth day of my sugar pills and have a heavy flow for seven days. Now after surgery my period comes the first day of sugar pills and It's five days with only one heavy day.

      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
