Will i ever get my period again on my own?



Recommended Posts

Hey y'all, I was sleeved on 4/21 have lost 23lbs as of today (yes I'm that bad girl who weighs every morning) and I have PCOS. I got my period when I was 11 years old and lost it at age 15. I'm 36 years old now and only have my periods when it's brought on with a 10 day cycle of Provera meds. I haven't taken Provera in about 4 years though. My Gyno says my uterine wall is "getting thick again" so I will have to either take the Provera to get a period to shed the old blood, but my question is this: are any other ladies in the same boat as I am with no periods at all and have PCOS and have actually gotten their menses back after this sleeve surgery? My surgeon says it's very common, but I guess I just need to hear it from other sleevers. I like the fact of not having periods however it makes me feel less of a woman also, make sense?

I also have PCOS and I usually get my period about 4 times a year. I had my RNY 3 weeks ago and have had my period on and off since then! This is crazy!!

      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.
