TMI-- my period has gone missing!

I am definitely not pregnant. But it's normally very much on schedule and it's about a week late now. I had it before my surgery (surgery date 1/3). I was on a liquid diet at that time, I feel like if I had it then, I should have it now.

I've been following the doctors instructions, getting in 70-80 grams of protein and 54-64 oz of water a day. I'm eating around 700-800 calories a day. I don't feel like I'm starving myself.

Anyone else experience no period after surgery?

I had the opposite occur. I had finished mine right before surgery then 6 Days post op I got it again! WTF? Anyways my group said Rapid weight loss messes with your hormones and causes it to happen like that sometimes, maybe same explanation holds for not getting it on time as well?

Mine got delayed 2 weeks the first month....then showed up on schedule the second month. Major surgery messes with menstruation.

Thanks ladies-- I'll just try to be patient and hope it comes eventually. Hopefully not when I'm out and about... lol I hate not knowing when it's going to appear!

I had the exact same thing happen!

After months of testing they found my estrogen was really low due to rapid weightloss. Apparently this is very common

I’m curious when my will start again. I wasn’t due for another week before surgery (1/9) but the trauma of the surgery kick started it and because of the blood thinners they gave me, it lasted almost a week when it’s normally only 2days at the most. I’m sure there’ll be all kinds of changes happening now.
