Missed Period



Recommended Posts

Has anyone missed a period since surgery?

Mine is two days late. I'm definitely not pregnant. I feel all the symptoms bloating cramping etc but nothing else

I know sometimes periods stop when you lose too much at once. Just want to hear everyone else's experience

My last period was 2 weeks late and I was starting to get concerns, but not from a pregnancy point of view. I thought I was having issues with PCOS, as up until that cycle, my periods were regular every 32 days. I might get some bloods anyway to check all my levels.

I'm 3 1/2 months post op.

Well I know mine is never related to pregnancy. The only way that'll ever happen is via immaculate conception.

Or a turkey baster.

Since the surgery, I haven't had normal periods. Range anywhere from 19-30 days. Guess it's hormonal changes in the body.

The stress of having surgery plus changes in your diet plus rapid weight loss will probably mean the gift of a jacked up cycle for a while. Mine came early. Precious. What I wanted to deal with week one post op was that wench Moms Nature.

I am reading a lot about the different ways the surgery jacks up your cycle. Some find their cycle skips and others find that it will not stop. Fat holds estrogen so your body is processing that release too as you start more rapid loss. Oh joy!

I am 2 days late and never ever ever late. Ive only lost 12 pounds since surgery a month ago so its not like I lost a ton but then I dont think Im pregnant either. This might be one of the only times I actually WANTED Aunt Flo to show up on my doorstep lol.

My first surgery was 11-19, I started the day after. Got home, could take my pill and it stopped until I went back to the hospital, had emergency surgery on the 1st (I think)... Started the next day, lasted a week, I begged for the depo shot and got it on the 11th, finally stopped. Started again today.

Our bodies are a hot mess with all the estrogen being released from shedding fat cells. Double up on birth control, keep scheduled appointments with your gyn :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
