On first reading your post I took it you had been 'banned' (kicked off) from this board....a number of persons were indeed banned a couple of months ago. But in re-reading it, I now think you mean you were 'banded' (had a lapband inserted").

Hope that is correct.

I was told that the spotting was from excessive estrogen. THe body stores hormones in fat and as you are losing fat it has to go somewhere. It ends up back in the system and some women spot from the over abundence of it. ~Mandy

I've read/heard about a lot of ppl having menstral issues while losing weight rapidly. Luckily/unluckily for me it hasn't been an issue because im not losing that fast. But from what I've heard, its due to increased hormones in your system that are released while your body is breaking down fat cells. Apparantly fat cells store energy and HORMONES lol. who knew?? Some ppl notice increased emotions (depression, crying, etc.) and some ppl notice increased cramps, heavier menstration, longer duration of bleeding etc. Im not a doctor so I don't know if this stuff is true, but its whats being said/written about on this board and others. Hope it helps. Congrats on the weight loss!!

I was on liquids for 10 days pre-op and started bleeding the day before surgery. This came as a huge surprise to me as I take the depo shot and had not had a cycle for almost 4 years prior to that. It is totally normal. ~Mandy

Be aware, the depo changes the way your body processes Calcium. I was just diagnosed with osteoperosis. I am seeing a bone specialist after Thanksgiving. My PC doc says the depo has to go. I am also seeing th OBGYN after the first of the year about having my tubes tied. ~Mandy

      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.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
