TMI-- my period has gone missing!

I am definitely not pregnant. But it's normally very much on schedule and it's about a week late now. I had it before my surgery (surgery date 1/3). I was on a liquid diet at that time, I feel like if I had it then, I should have it now.

I've been following the doctors instructions, getting in 70-80 grams of Protein and 54-64 oz of Water a day. I'm eating around 700-800 calories a day. I don't feel like I'm starving myself.

Anyone else experience no period after surgery?

I had the opposite occur. I had finished mine right before surgery then 6 Days post op I got it again! WTF? Anyways my group said Rapid weight loss messes with your hormones and causes it to happen like that sometimes, maybe same explanation holds for not getting it on time as well?

Mine got delayed 2 weeks the first month....then showed up on schedule the second month. Major surgery messes with menstruation.

Thanks ladies-- I'll just try to be patient and hope it comes eventually. Hopefully not when I'm out and about... lol I hate not knowing when it's going to appear!

I had the exact same thing happen!

After months of testing they found my estrogen was really low due to rapid weightloss. Apparently this is very common

I’m curious when my will start again. I wasn’t due for another week before surgery (1/9) but the trauma of the surgery kick started it and because of the blood thinners they gave me, it lasted almost a week when it’s normally only 2days at the most. I’m sure there’ll be all kinds of changes happening now.

      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.
