Updates! I went to the gyno this week, after not seeing Aunt Flo for over 3 months. I was ALWAYS regular before surgery. He did an ultrasound and said cervix and ovaries look good, but that the uterus lining was thin, which means I'm probably not ovulating. (I can tell when I am, and I have not ovulated since surgery). So, no cycle. All blood work came back normal. He explain that throughout evolution, weight loss is a sign of famine, so losing ~20 lb in a month tells our bodies that if we aren't able to consume enough to maintain ourselves, we can not support a baby, additionally. Clearly everyone is different, but at least everything is normal for me. It still bothers me that my body has shut down natural processes, and I can't help but wonder if the energy saved by ovulating has any impact on metabolism. He says to come back and see him if my weight stabilizes for about 3 months and she still doesn't return.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Like you, I've been regular like clockwork since the age of 12 post surgery! I was sleeved 4/23, and I'm 3 days late, which by some standards isn't bad, but as stated before I was always regular and on time prior to surgery. Needless to say I've been worried, but your post puts me at ease - thank you!

      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! 😞
