Any one having strange cycles?

Hi Everyone....quick question Has anyone experienced a change with their period since surgery? I'm 5 weeks out and had stalled at 19pounds 10 days ago for 3-4 days..but then my period started..I thought that was the reason as I began to lose again. I have now stayed at 23 pounds for 5 days ( not really eating but trying to drink enough fluid and taking protein shakes) and yesterday I had a day of a very light period.it's gone today...has anyone else had this? Lesley

I have had 3 in my 2 month surgery period, but yes stall a little & then go again for a week or 2 I only lost 2 lbs but hey lbs are ok in the stall mode but I have lost inches also that is great also I love to loose inches .you need to eat 3 mealsbut I eat 2 & snacks & a shake in am & get in the protien also .good luck becky

Lesley, Talk about strange cycles!! My weight loss has yo-yo'ed because of this. Normally I would have a cycle that lasted about 3-5 days with little to no weight gain. Post surgery I have experienced a stall in weight 1-2 weeks prior, and then the gaining and losing of the same 5 lbs until after the cycle is over. THis month has been particulary crazy as I am entering my 2nd week on the same cycle. I have been losing and gaining the same 3 lbs for the entire 2 week period. By next week I hope to be normal- whatever that is anymore!!

Towana, How are you doing. I have to tell you that I have finally gotten over my phobia of trying on clothes. I spend lunch hours now just trying on, never buying, but I love to see what I can wear now. I bet that you are so so small now. Hope to see you soon!!!!!!! We need to have a lcbb II meeting for those of us that go to school at night, the schedule is killing me, but I do love it!!! Mary

I am 9 months out and have the same thing. The week before and of my period I really slow down with the weight loss. Afterwords it falls off again. I have longer cycles and breakthrough bleeding alot too. I think it must have to do with the extra estrogen that we have. Don't be discouraged, it will fall off again shortly Mary

Lesley, I have this too. I gained 6lbs in my period week. Now it is falling off again. My cycle has really lightened and shortened. I freaked out about the weight gain, but after the hormones cleared, I am back into my regular mode. This was the first month I gained weight. Normally I just quit losing. Next month I am going to be super cautious about eating lighter and getting more fluid. WOW, how can you diet when you are already so restricted?? Oh well, we have to do what we have to do. Good luck, Kelly
