Bypass2Freedom 870 Posted May 9, 2024 Hey ladies, A bit of context: I have PCOS & I haven't had a period in about 2 years. I also have the coil as my form of contraception so that has probably added to the lack of periods. I am on my 10th day of the pre-op diet and I've lost about 8lbs -/+ so far, and I have started a really light period! Is this normal? I feel like maybe my body is trying to work properly? 😂 1 TwinkleToes87 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,220 Posted May 9, 2024 it's very common in the weeks or months AFTER surgery have unusual periods. Haven't heard about before - but the reason for having weird cycles after is due to estrogen being released from fat cells during rapid weight loss (estrogen is stored in fat cells) - so that might be what's going on with you now... 1 Arabesque reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bypass2Freedom 870 Posted May 9, 2024 @catwoman7 Yes I had heard the same thing - hence why I definitely wasn't expecting it pre-surgery 😅 I agree that probably is what is happening! Just curious to see if anyone else may have experienced the same thing! Thank you for your comment! ❤️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have PCOS and hardly ever get one. 1 Bypass2Freedom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
