Estrogen released from fat cells...who knew?



Recommended Posts

Hey ladies! For those of you experiencing symptoms similar to PMS (but no longer menstruate so it can't be) irritable, headaches, fatigue-I went to my family MD and she explained that estrogen gets stored in fat cells. When you lose fat rapidly, the estrogen is released into your system just like when ovulating. Thank God! I thought I was going crazy! However, Im still getting headaches, Tylonol isn't cutting it. Anyone with similar reaction to rapid weight loss? My surgery was last Oct and I've lost 54 lbs. since surgery. My sleeve gives me problems with a lot of foods so I eat very little still. Prefer Soups and yogurts (mushy stage) just so I don't feel horrible.

I had to give up my hormone shots. I have took one since surgery it caused a huge stall in weight loss. I had hysterectomy in 1997 never took hormones until almost 2 years ago. I am now pre hysterectomy weight.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
