Hot flashes & sweating

Sweating I can't take it any more. I randomly break out in a sweat several times a day. Not at all typical for me. Please tell me this will end. Especially around my neck and forehead. Ugh.

I don't think there is anything particular to weight loss surgery that would normally cause this. I think it's more usual to have that related to hormonal changes or issues. I suppose metabolic issues could contribute but I'm no doctor. I would go see your GP and let them check you out.

You're not using any supplements containing stimulants, like for the gym, are you? caffeine, guarana, yohimbe, etc can all get you fired up when combined with exhertion.

I'm sure it's hormonal. Really not exercising too much as I injured my knee. The only thing is the caffeine but I only drink tea and it doesn't necessarily seem related. Thanks for your thoughts though.

Have you missed any monthly's? If so, I would be checked out with the GP to see if its the start of menopause.

Hot sweats are horrible. I had them for over a year then decided to go onto HRT and the difference was amazing.

Hope you feel better soon!!

I'm 52 also and menopausal but was always cold prior to my surgery. I know my hormones are out of whack and think the change of diet screws with the hormones more. Thanks all for your support.

Not just the change in diet, but the rapid weight loss. There are a lot of hormones stored in fat and when it breaks down, those get released back into the body. It's one of the reasons pre-menopausal women experience a spike in fertility post-op.
