Nausea during PMS



Recommended Posts

I'm 7 weeks out from surgery and will have my second period since the surgery next week. I've noticed I'm very nauseous to the point that I only can eat broth and crackers. Can anyone relate to this? Are my PMS hormones going crazy now that I'm losing weight?

For the record, I've ways had a regular cycle and PMS. I've just never had nausea this bad before. I really hope things even out in the future so I don't feel sick.

I can't help you with this because I was never regular and stopped having periods after my Hysto when I was 32YO. I'm now 61YO. LOL But I can say this...I have heard that our hormones are stored in our fat!!! So that might be what you are feeling. I'm sorry about all of this going on. Hopefully, it will all work out. if you are really concerned I would take it up with my Dr. they should be able to address this better than I can. Good Luck. GREAT weight loss!!! Congratulations!!

I am about 8 months out and my PMS is just crazy. I have depression and mood swings and nausea as well. I'm on the pill and have been the whole time, so I'm not sure if maybe I need a new Rx now that I'm down 114 pounds or what. But yeah it seems to be really common to have our hormones go totally out of whack after this surgery. My poor husband!

I will say it seems to have shifted over the whole time. I don't feel very sick anymore, but I do feel more depressed during that time. So maybe just monitor it and see your GYN in a few months if it doesn't ease up!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
