Ok 3 months out Christmas Day, 53 lbs total and I'm thrilled.... My periods are weird.... This month was a week later and all brown ( sorry) like at the typical end of period???!? I'm certain it's something to do w rapid weight loss, what do y'all think!?

Thanks brandy

I'm sure it's a combo of hormones and rapid weight loss. Granted I wasn't sleeved yet but my last one was like that. But I was SOOOOO stressed with everything before surgery that I think that is what happened.

Of course everyone is different but I would bet it's a combo of both above. When in doubt call your ob.

With all the stress and pre-op diet i had one every 2 weeks! The last one seemed normal and ended while i was in recovery at the hospital. Hoping it stays kinda normal but i hear it doesn't most likely so i too have yet to find out

I had my period before I had surgery & then it returned less than a week after surgery. It was VERY heavy for 2 weeks. My doctor's office said that it is normal to have really erratic periods because as we lose weight quickly our fat cells are dumping estrogen into our system. Lucky us. As we get closer to our goal weight our periods should regulate. Good luck to you!

Thanks! I figured as much just wanted to ask:)

I wonder how many guys clicked on this!! Haha

Congrats on 53 lbs!! Wow!!

Afa your question, I'm not sure. Google?

I am a month out and got mine a bit early and had the same issues as you for the first three days...then two days of regular menses.

I haven't had a period yet but I am not due until next week. However, I felt compelled to tell you (just in case), that when I became pregnant for my last child (I have 3), I had a "period" like that. It was actually blood from the egg implanting. Not trying to rattle your cage at all but thought it was worth a mention just in case so you can look into that if there is a possibility.

Your picture is so pretty!

I had my surgery on November 28th, I had my period going into surgery & since then I have had it every 2 weeks. It is normal to have irregular periods from all of the hormone changes. This week it has been all brown ((sorry)). It is annoying getting it so often but I feel that once I'm down to a healthier weight it will balance out & be normal.

If you have your period going into surgery do you have to tell them? Or just put a tampon in and you're good to go?

You tell them and likely they will want you to have a pad verses a tampon. If something happens and you aren't able to deal with the tampon, someone else would need to. This also alleviates a pre surgery blood test which a lot of them do for possible pregnancy.

I had this same thing happen to me. I figured I was spotting and my periods were late because of surgery and the stress on my body. But I am now 5 mos pregnant..... So I guess my problems were for a different reason lol

I'm so frustrated with my period right now. I've been regular and not heavy flow for about three years now. It used to be a once a year nightmare until I lost a bunch of weight, and even though I've re-gained all the weight, my period has stayed regular. Until now. It is now officially three weeks late, and I'm two weeks away from surgery. I'm so afraid the flood gates are going to open right before my surgery and I will be so extremely pissed off if that happens. x[
