Ladies only ... PMS but no aunt flow!



Recommended Posts

I'm 26 days post-op. I have lost 19lbs since the surgery but total of 33lbs from my highest weight.

I was supposed to have my period around the 20th but I still haven't gotten it yet but I feel very bloated and I have cravings for chocolate like before my surgery.

Has anybody else experience something similar?! What to do about the cravings ?!

I don't have any advice because my surgery isn't until next month. But I'm curious to know too so I'm following your post.

Height 5'0"

Weight for consultation: 216 lbs.

Pre-op Weight: Unknown until January 20th.

My profile picture is not me. It's my "FitSpiration" body.

Periods will likely be irregular during dramatic weight loss.

Maybe drink chocolate flavored Protein shakes?

They can go slightly mental as you loose weight so if it's possible, looks at BC that may help alleviate periods or stop them all together. NHS Glasgow who I'm doing it with requires all woman to be on BC before surgery due to the risk of pregnancy and wacked out menstrual issues.

I was told that our fat stores hormones so as we lose weight those hormones get released and messing with emotions and periods.

Also, my doctor told me I had to use 2 methods of birth control for the first year so if you aren't using any, that might be worth looking into.

Makes sense. Cholesterol is the precursors a lot hormones, including sex hormones.

So you burn fat and cholesterol is released and get used up to make more hormones....

I'm having this issue now. Had surgery Dec 19 and flow came on schedule on the 22. I have had none since despite only losing about 20 lbs since surgery. I wear/carry protection as I feel like I am about to start for the last week. The unpredictability is harder than just getting it over with. I definitely don't want any surprises!

Starting weight 367

Surgery weight 330

Current weight 308

Sleeved on Dec. 19, 2016

      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.
