Ladies, I stopped getting my period after my surgery. I'm 5 months post op and 27 years old. Anyone have this same problem due to rapid weight loss? If so, how long did it take you to get your period again?

not with this surgery because I was already in menopause...but when I had a previous surgery while I was still having periods, my period did stop for a few months; I just figured it was the stress and/or trauma of having the surgery...I know this is different...but you are only 27 so I bet your period does return soon...I would give it another month or two and then see your ob/gyn if you still haven't had a period

I've seen people say they lost their periods and I've seen people with super, awful periods afterwards. I had an ablation 2 years ago so I don't have active periods anymore but I can tell my hormones are worse at the moment. I still get to go through the same PMS roller coaster as everyone else :D

Just the opposite.... I have always had very irregular periods and would usually need to take hormones to start... But after I came home from the hospital I started and started again 2 weeks later... No fun

      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.
