Hello,

Sleeve was 12 days ago. I got my period about 1am today...1st since surgery. All I've had is pudding, sip of smoothie & sip of Soup, slept almost all day. Diarrhea started an hour ago & won't stop. Last night I was at church dancing?!?! Is this normal for your first period after surgery? I feel horrible. I'm so confused, I've been feeling GREAT!!

I am beyond the period thing, but did alternate between diarrhea and Constipation the first six weeks. At ten months out everything is a comfortable normal most days.

Your period causes a release of hormones, one of which stimulates having to go poop. You might not have correlated it before or noticed, but yeah, your period and the hormones are likely to give you diarrhea. And add that to a liquid diet, consider it double trouble.

I got my period 3 days after my surgery and I still have it 3 months later. I saw my gyn yesterday and did some testing. So far she doesn't know if it's related to surgery but I also have a nexplanon as birth control. I don't know why I'm still bleeding ????????

I had my period the week before my surgery, a week of respite, then I got a second one. Very weird. I asked my surgeon and she said it's not uncommon. Apparently the stress of the surgery can do weird things to your hormones. I'm off it now!

I was the same way. Tomorrow will be one year and my periods have not been normal since surgery. I've had test and changed birth control, they still don't know why. I'm not bleeding everyday anymore, but start spotting so I have to wear a pad daily. I hope they can figure something out for you, cuz it sucks!!

I got what I thought was my period 12 days after my surgery. I was pretty excited cause it was so light and only three days.

Well, surprise surprise 15 days later I have it again and all HOLY HELL it is heavy. (sorry if TMI) It is finally slowing down and I hope will be done soon.

But on a positive note, I did lose 4.8lbs this past week. And in the past I don't normally lose when I have my period. :)

I am hoping next month will go back to being lighter and more like they were before surgery.

Sounds like fun! I haven't had a normal period since I got my IUD almost 2 years ago. I go months without one then get one and either it's a few hours long or a couple weeks long smh. I'm not looking forward to this part.

Mine have been very different since surgery. I had surgery September 15th and I've had 3 periods since then. Usually I start every 27-29 days for 5 days, *very* heavy the first two days. The time between periods is now getting shorter, 19 days between the last one and I only spotted for 2-3 days. Very weird.

Btw, I also had the diarrhea thing going on several times a day in the beginning. That finally stopped and now I sometimes go a day without going. Especially if I'm not careful to keep my Water up.

I'm almost 4 weeks out and still no period. Still waiting. I've been unintentionally acting kind of cranky, tho, so I suspect it's on the horizon.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
