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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
