Any Ladies Have Lighter Menstrul Cycles After Vsg?



Recommended Posts

I am one mont post op and had my period when I had surgery. I started again a few days ago but it is very light--so light that I don't know what day to call day one, but have been spotting for 3 days. I have read that most have heavier periods after VSG...

Anyone have lighter?

My surgery was on 9/27/12 and mine is back like clock work and did not skip a beat. I started a few days after surgery, right on time, on October 4th, it was quite a bit lighter, but the next month....my gracious everything was back in full swing and back with a vengeance. I WISH mine was lighter and less crampy. I felt like the surgery made no difference in that aspect. I still get salty and sweet cravings too. This month was weird though, I was actually craving meat, even though I had plenty of Protein LOL :)

I wonder since the surgery caused me to start early that its thrown me off. Dec. 5th I'll be a exactly 30 days post op.

I started spotting on schedule after my surgery but spotted for 4 days which is unusual. I'm 3 months out now and find from 4 to 5 days to 3 to 4 days. Which is totally fine in my book!

Be careful ladies about sex.. With major weight loss comes very high chances of pregnancy. Surgery causes u to be very fertile!! Research it.. It's true!!

I started my cycle one week post op and it was normal so we will see how it goes next month won't hurt my feelings if it doesn't come or it's light that would be a plus

I came on my period a week earlier than schedule (post vsg). It was much lighter than usual.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
