Missed Period



Recommended Posts

Has anyone missed a period since surgery?

Mine is two days late. I'm definitely not pregnant. I feel all the symptoms bloating cramping etc but nothing else

I know sometimes periods stop when you lose too much at once. Just want to hear everyone else's experience

My last period was 2 weeks late and I was starting to get concerns, but not from a pregnancy point of view. I thought I was having issues with PCOS, as up until that cycle, my periods were regular every 32 days. I might get some bloods anyway to check all my levels.

I'm 3 1/2 months post op.

Well I know mine is never related to pregnancy. The only way that'll ever happen is via immaculate conception.

Or a turkey baster.

Since the surgery, I haven't had normal periods. Range anywhere from 19-30 days. Guess it's hormonal changes in the body.

The stress of having surgery plus changes in your diet plus rapid weight loss will probably mean the gift of a jacked up cycle for a while. Mine came early. Precious. What I wanted to deal with week one post op was that wench Moms Nature.

I am reading a lot about the different ways the surgery jacks up your cycle. Some find their cycle skips and others find that it will not stop. Fat holds estrogen so your body is processing that release too as you start more rapid loss. Oh joy!

I am 2 days late and never ever ever late. Ive only lost 12 pounds since surgery a month ago so its not like I lost a ton but then I dont think Im pregnant either. This might be one of the only times I actually WANTED Aunt Flo to show up on my doorstep lol.

My first surgery was 11-19, I started the day after. Got home, could take my pill and it stopped until I went back to the hospital, had emergency surgery on the 1st (I think)... Started the next day, lasted a week, I begged for the depo shot and got it on the 11th, finally stopped. Started again today.

Our bodies are a hot mess with all the estrogen being released from shedding fat cells. Double up on birth control, keep scheduled appointments with your gyn :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
