It sounds like a trip to your doctor is in order. There are a lot of people here with experience who might be able to shed some light on your situation. But you definitely need to check with your doctor's office. You just had major surgery. You need to check in and find out why you feel the way you do.

Sending ((hugs)) and wishes for better days.

OK, I am not an OB/GYN, but this appears to be more cycle/hormone and Water weight issues. If so, YES see your MD! The good news is you are NOT gaining fat... and water weight can leave as quickly as it comes!

I didn't have my period until 9 weeks after surgery. There are others that have posted on this topic as well that it may takes months before you are "regular" again.

Also, exactly how much weight have you gained back? And, are you tracking everything you are doing. If you aren't getting enough Water, that could be holding things back a bit.

      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.
