Surgery and Cycle interruption?



Recommended Posts

Ladies .... How has your surgery and resulting weight loss impacted your monthly cycle? I'm asking because, I'm starting to think that maybe I shouldn't intarweb until after I finally have my period. The ONE downfall of this weight loss is the massive delay in my cycle. 47 days is way too long, and I'm REALLY F-ING BITCHY!

Since you are of the age ,I am going to let you know that I guess I was premenopausal & didn't even know it till I was thinking about having surgery & apparently I still am my pcp/ obgyn said it can take a few years well I hadn't had aunt flow for about a year , then a few weeks after surgery here came the river , so I texted my surgeon & told him to call me immediately because I was concerned & he did ,turns out surgery can do that & he said if it didn't stop in a couple of days to call him immediately , well it did stop & I haven't had flow in 2 years yes I am older than you but they say it can happen from the age of 30 , so make a appointment & go see your Doctor's, also I have heard surgery can make it haywire .

I think menopause is delayed for me now because I'm healthier. I have skipped cycles and thought I was done done, but no. The beat goes on...... I did want to lose the weight prior to menopause because I think it's more difficult after, but now I'm more relaxed with all that. The weight is coming off regardless. Speaking of hormones, though, the benefits of increased sexual energy are pretty amazing. Loving that.... The heavy periods, not so much.

      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?

      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.
