Has anyone missed a period?



Recommended Posts

Okay so as one might assume, I am freaking out a bit about having missed my period. I haven't taken a pregnancy test yet, I think I am in denial! Friends keep telling me that all the stress and the low calorie intake could be affecting my period. Has this happened to anyone else?

Mine was all screwed up for the first 3 months, I had the opposite happen though. I had 3 periods in a month. It has since gone back to normal.. once a month and pretty regular...

i haven't had a period in years (depo-provera) and since being sleeved at the end of january, i have had a week of spotting, a week off and a week spotting again. i think it has to do with the release of estrogen that is stored in fat cells. i've also stopped taking my prozac since surgery so maybe with all the changes, everything is out of whack. i will say though that otherwise i feel great! lost 10 lbs pre-op and 25 lbs since surgery 1/29!:D

Olivia,

I can't help you in this department as I've had endometrial ablation so I don't have a period anymore. Hope you find out soon what's causing this to happen.

Mine was waaaay late! I think all the changes our bodies are going through must have something to do with it.

I was spotting/bleeding for a looonnnnggg time after surgery. Then it stopped, then I had a really bad period and now I am bleeding again on and off. What lucill35 user_popup.png said was interesting.. maybe that is the cause of our being out of whack.

I haven't had any period although I did have major PMS. I'm not going to worry yet. I'm only on week 3 so I'm gonna give it some time.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
