Ladies only....where's my period!!



Recommended Posts

Sorry, I usually am not one to post stuff like this but I want to know if anyone has experienced this.

Let me say a few things first:

1. I have had my tubes tied for a year.

2. I know that surgery can screw up your cycle.

3. I know that rapid weight loss/change in diet and metabolism can screw up your cycle.

So here's my story.

Banded 2-22-08, had a period like 3 days after surgery, I think a few days early but not sure, I dont track my cycle. I have since not had a period. By my calculations I am about a week late. I normally have 28 to 30 day cycles. My hubby brought this to my attentiion last night. He claims that he thought I was about to start last week, apparently he claims he can "tell".....ok, guess he knows my body better than I do. Anyway I cramped for like 15 min last week and nothing ever happened. DH says I am not acting like I will start anymore....again....ooook....lol. I am aware that I have an increased chance of an ectopic but I don;t think I feel prego.

I know that women who have weird or absent cycles will claim to feel like they will start and never do, but this is all new to me. I have ALWAYS been regular unless I was prego.

Question: How many of you have experienced a messed up cycle due to surgery and/or weight loss?

I was banded on 1/21/08 and I was also late this month (2 weeks). I knew that it was due to the surgery so I did really worry about it.

yes I am very regular. I meant to say that I did not really worry about it because I knew that it was because of the weight loss/surgery.

      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.
