IMHO I'd buy a cheap pregnancy test and do a test. I also keep extras on hand in case. I doubt anything is wrong but it could be your body adjusting to the surgery.

I've had weird spotting since surgery 9 days ago. I think it's just a physical stress thing.

I am on the pill and am currently enjoying my third period in six weeks. I talked about this with my surgical team, and they said it was not unusual. It's the usual story for most weird things that happen at this stage: body reeling from the trauma of surgery, hormones and toxins being released willy nilly, should only be temporary, yadda yadda. All I can say is that the bleeding is getting really really old. But then again, since that's the worst that's happened to me so far, I am still immensely grateful.

You may not be feeling stressed, however your body has gone through a major stress, and continues to be stressed as you suddenly start to lose weight. In our pre-op group meetings we were told to expect major pms symptoms, and possible changes to cycles, as the weight loss causes an increase in the release of estrogen and other hormones. Not to worry though as it begins to level out after the first month or so.

I use an implant, never have periods normally with it, and I was spotting for about the first 3-4 weeks after surgery. It's definitely a result of the surgery, but also the drastic dietary change and hormonal changes that go along with both I believe.

I was on birth control when I had my surgery and my period wasn't due yet as I still had another two weeks before it was supposed to arrive and I got my period in full force while on the pill 6 days after my surgery. Your body can do some weird things as it and your hormones adjust.

When I was in the hospital having my surgery I wasn't due to get my period for two weeks and boom I got it in the hospital with a vengeance after I woke up in recovery. Now I'm kind of out of whack!!

      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.
