I had a period every 2 weeks for about 14 months. It started with them moving up, then it was every 2 weeks, and with spotting in between. :57_cry:

Hello, has anyone had problems with their periods coming a week or two early? I'm one month post op

My period is on SO HEAVY! I have never had a period this heavy in my life. Heard it's common though.

Heavy is ok, just make sure you aren't bleeding too heavily (more than a pad an hour is cause for concern).

Weird periods... Par for the course after surgery...

It sucks! My acne has also flared up - it's very clear my body is going through hormonal changes. Happy to be getting healthier but it is starting to get annoying.

You poor thing. Yes it has also been coming about every two weeks for me too. Not heavy bleeding but the cramps are in full force.

It sucks also because I either gain 5 pounds with my period or stall. So it made it seem like my weight loss was slower than it was.

I had breakouts too. I went to get derm and got pills for those, they have helped so much. The pills also help with Hair loss.

That is exactly what is happening to me oh my god - thank god I'm not alone. I have been losing weight slowly but it makes sense that my period being so constant affects it. Pre op I always gained and retained Water weight through out my monthly. Do you mind sharing the name of the pill you are on? I'm currently on a rx cream right now but maybe something oral would work better.

This surgery is one of the reasons I had this surgery. No period for over a year unless medically induced. I was hoping I woulf get one this month because I hate having to take pills for it to come. Alas nothing. I guess I should justvtake my progesterone and carry one.

I'm right there with you guys. All of it. Early period , acne , weight stall/gain. I'm so happy to have found this thread and know I'm not alone.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
