Hormones are stored in fat. When you lose fat those hormones get dumped into your system. I have been warned that I may start having periods again after my surgery. :(

I had the same thing happen to me. By 5 months I only had it once a month!! I hope it stops faster for you.

Same here....hadn't had a period in months before surgery. After surgery, I had my period for 2 months straight until it was somewhat regulated with provera.

I just started taking a hormone pill today. I didn't ask for it but the doctor found it necessary for women after bariatric surgery. Not only is my period kind of screwy, I'm also mildly breaking out on my face and getting a splotchy appearance. The doc says it is all contributed to hormones from the surgery itself and the release of them as I lose weight. I hope the pills help. I think birth control pills also balance your hormones.

I read this post earlier this morning and thought "man, that sucks!" About 30 minutes ago I started my period AGAIN - 17 days after just having one! I have never in my life had this happen - ever. I'm as regular as regular can be.

Just kind of ironic I read your post and BAM - it happened to me.

Lovely being a woman, ain't it? LOL!

      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.
