So I am a month post op and im supposed to get my period any minute now. I'm not having my normal pre period happenings though and don't feel it coming on. Did any of you have changes to your cycle following surgery? I am definately NOT pregnant.

After surgery we are supposed to have a huge release of hormones through our body that definitely affects these things so you may notice some difference. I definitely did. I hadn't had a period for six months prior to surgery - starting into menopause and within a month of surgery there is was again. I was not thrilled.

I was normal my first period after surgery (12 days after) but my jan period I started to spot then nothing, so we'll see how this one goes in around the 17th.

My period came the month after surgery. It was very, very heavy. Ugh! Hope the next one isn't!

My PCP said when you lose weight the estrogen stored in the fat cells is released and can cause heavier periods. On the other hand, the stress of the surgery could throw you off for the first month.

I got my period the day after surgery then I skipped a month and got it almost 4 weeks late.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
