Ok I know when you lose alot of weight at first it can affect your cycle, but how bad can it affect it, I am down 66lbs in less then 4 months and my cycle this month is pretty much nothing its all spotting, its making me a little worried, I know my body is changing alot and that it can affect that but when it changed that much its now scarying me,

anyone else have the same issue? I just want to make sure I am not alone, I have a Dr on Wed I am going to talk to them about it also.

Thanks

Well giggles - I have a mirena and the monthly cycle isn't an issue for me personally but this is what I can tell you: yes, your cycle can definitely be affected by the drastic weight loss you are having. The sleeve has changed everything your body knew about itself and now it's having to readjust. Asking your Dr is a great idea. I'm pretty sure he/she will ease your worries about this issue. I wouldn't spend a lot of time worrying though:)

Your cycle can definately be affected, as can your fertility. It is easier to accidentally get pregnant, too. That makes for a very scary situation with pre-natal malnutrition.

My cycle did vary - more like a reset, in a way - twice. I call it reset cause it reminded me of hitting reset in a game - you go back to where you hit the button at, I would start on say the 1st, then have it early, say the 10th, but from there on out until it changed again it would be a 27-28 day cycle.

      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.
