Just a question..I am 6 weeks post op.. Had surgery August 8th. I got my period day of surgery. Havent had one since (so 6 weeks) I lost 40 lbs since starting pre-op. I also have Pcos but have ALWAYS had regular periods...And NO Im not pregnant. Has this happened to anyone else after surgery that You either skipped a period or it was weeks late... Im hoping its my hormones and pcos straightening itself out...

Yeah, the surgery makes your hormones go crazy. As long as you're sure you're not preggers, nothing to worry about.

I was 3 weeks late for my period because I was stressed out! Then as I got a date, I was even more stressed out because I didn't want to have my period at the hospital LOL. So yeah, surgery makes hormones go crazy especially with PCOS. I have that as well, don't worry! My periods were also "normal" majority of the time.

I am late on my period, got my surgery almost 4 weeks ago, a

AND also have PCOS. so I feel you. But I have been feeling "moody" and have major cravings this week, soooooo, MIT be pms? I have a question though since you also have PCOS, when you had the surgery and they discharged you, did they tell you to stop taking metformin and spironolactone, that is if you were even taking it to begin with.....?

I wasn't taking anything before surgery..I was on metformin before getting pregnant with my first child and stopped taking it at 12 weeks preg. I just hope my body regulates itself

Hi - I think it took me about a month, but I'd have to go back & look at my graphs. I lost at a pretty good rate right after surgery, had the usual three week stall, and now I'm losing at a rate of about 2 lbs per week, give or take. I'm pretty happy with that. I've lost 52 lbs in 4.5 months, went from a 22/24 to a 14. I feel a LOT better!

      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.
