i just started my period a day before surgery and it ended last Friday. Since then I get pink discharge once a day which gets me all frustrated that i am bleeding internally. What could it be ? My periods arent like that

From what I've read, your hormones are going to be out of whack for a while from the weight loss since some are stored in fat and are released as you lose weight. My period has been unpredictable since surgery.

Referred to Guelph, Dec. 3/12. Orientation: Mar 7/13. NUT/SW/RN Jun 18/13. Nutrition Class Jul 3/13. NUT/SW/RN Aug 19/13. Post-op Nutrition Class Dec 30/13. Approval for surgery from Dr. Jules Foute Nelong Feb 10/14. Surgery Apr 23/14.

Your hormones will be way out of whack for a while --- fat has a lot of estrogen and other hormones in it that are released into your body as you burn fat. 

Before surgery my period was like clockwork with no spotting -- EVER.  The week after surgery I had a 6 day period (where max had been 3 days before) with double the bleeding of normal.  Had spotting for about 6 weeks after surgery.

I'm currently 5 months out and things are pretty much back to normal. 

If you've had a recent PAP and exam then it's probably the hormones.  If you're still concerned go to your Gyn and have it checked out.
