Hormones after gastric bypass.
I'm 8 months post op and just wondering if anyone else has experienced more symptoms with their periods? I never used to have sore breasts or feeling exhausted during my period, but the last two periods I've had have been with many more symptoms. Now I'm ovulating and I'm having strong cramps and sore breasts. I've never had these issues. I'm thinking that due to the weight loss maybe my hormones are more intense? I know TMI but I can't find much info on the internet on hormones and RNY. Any info is much appreciated.
Thanks!
Well I can't help you much. I was in menapause and I found that allot of my normal symptoms ie: hot flashes, moodiness and night sweats were way down for the first 6 months. Now they are all back ( my old friends ) and I am dealing with them by taking estrogen. I remember them telling me that there was a connection between fat and estrogen...I think it is that fat tissue stores estrogen and when you start losing that your estrogen levels drop too.
