one of my friends (a 50 yr old female) said that not only does her husband get testosterone injections, but her doc is giving her testosterone with bioidentical hormones in a pellet every 6 months and it has really helped her libido. any women tried this?

any advice?

I feel the same way. sleeved 1/21 and down around 45 pounds. current weight 187. I've been playing with the same 2 pounds for weeks. can eat most anything. I average around 800 calories. I try to get up to around 1000-1100 at least once a week. I still need to lose at least 40 more.

I have a silly question. Does anyone know the reason we are suppose to wait 15 minutes after drinking to eat and then wait 45 minutes after to drink? I'm sure there's an important reason, but someone asked me and I didn't know what to tell them.

My new NSV is being able to shop on the right side of the store when I go in a Cato or Dress Barn store. lol. They have regular Misses sizes to the right and Women's sizes to the left. I get Lane Bryant catalogs in the mail and can now put them in the trash. Yippee!

Surgery was 1/21/13 and I'm down 38 pounds. Much slower than I had planned, but still very grateful. starting weight was 232 and I'm now at 194. I'm 5 ft 6 inches tall.

I with y'all. sleeved jan 21 and down 33 pounds. if you find a miracle way for us to speed up, let me know! lolI hit 199.4 on the scales this morning which puts me at 33 pounds lost in 3 months. MUCH slower than I had anticipated and hoped for, but I'm still very happy, because without the sleeve it would have never happened. I really wanted to be down in the 160's by the end of July to wear a swimsuit for my hubby's birthday. I'm doing my protein, water, vitamins etc. if I can get the anemia under control then hopefully I can walk more and get this weight loss speeded up!First of all a BIG Congrats! Way to go! Second, the key to insecurity issues with your spouse may. simply be constant reassurance and letting him know how hot he is to you. Third is a question about your anemia the first 3 months. I'm 3 months out and my blood work showed I'm anemic and totally sleepy all the time. What did you do to fix the problem?I was 5'7", but at my pre-op apt they said I was only 5'6". wish I could shrink the width rather than height. anyway my surgery was Jan 21, 2013. weighed 232. as of today I weigh 204. 28 pounds total lost. 15 the first month, 10 the second month and only 3 so far the 3rd month. I'm really, really frustrated.so what's your tips for success? I started at 232 dos on jan 21 and have tried everything to lose more, but I keep toggling around 27-28 pounds for weeks.Wowza! What a great transformation! if you feel as great as you look, that is amazing. Please share your tips for your great success.is anyone taking Bydureon shots? I'm not sure if I should.From what I'm reading, the doctor should have decreased my dosage. Unless he is looking at my overall health and other test. I'm confused.Are there any nurses who may have answers to my questions? I would greatly appreciate it.Thanks, I only took half last night and it got me to sleep, but I only slept 5 hours and then I was wide awake. Seems like I tried this years ago and it made me groggy the next day if I took the whole tablet and half wasn't enough. UGH! It's sad that I can relate to what Michael Jackson went through to get a decent nights sleep. I have some nights where no matter what I take, I stay awake all night. This happens about once a month. Need to maybe try Ambien or Lunesta again.
