Hey everyone. Im super late for my period (im celibate, been for 18 months, deathly afraid of getting prego and a disease, im divorced)

Sleeved 11/19 down 22lbs from 212 to 190. Should have had it the tenth. Any other ladies with this issue?

Hey Sel! First, congrats on the awesome weight loss. I am sure you look fab! I'm down 19, but have 10 to go to "onederland". Can't wait to be where you are!

Anyway, I had the opposite problem - I got mine only 18 days after it came the first time that month. I've heard that the hormones are totally wacky after getting sleeved, so I am sure that has something to do with it. Maybe someone else can chime in on the lateness thing, but I am sure it's the hormones.

Yes,she is absolutely right. Our Hormone are in crazzzzzy mode right now so it is normal for there to be fluctuation in menses, That being said, good thing you are refraining from sex or at least using birth control because fertility shoots out of the roof after surgery :)

I had that same issue too. I was nearly 6 weeks out and no sign of my period. My surgeon told me to take a pregnancy test and if it was negative I could start my bc pills again. I didn't get my period until the end of that month at 9 weeks out! Without the pills I'm not sure when it would've come.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
