I saw my OB yesterday and she said that of all her patients that has had weight loss surgery and the IUD, none of them had reported any weight gain. She doesn't think that the Mirena is affecting me adversely. And I'm not gaining weight, I'm just stalled. She told me to keep and eye on my progress and if it's an issue, she'll pull it. I have no other side effects from it otherwise so I would hate to have it removed, but if it's hindering my progress, it has to go.

Is this possible? I had my Mirena inserted on April 2, I had my surgery on January 28. In the month and a half since I had the Mirena inserted, I have not lost an ounce. However, I haven't gained weight either. I thought it a little odd that I have been at a plateau for 6 weeks, but, maybe the Mirena is to blame? Has anyone had this experience?

Asics, Brooks, and New Balance make excellent running sneakers. I recommend going to a running shop to get fitted however. I have a pair of New Balance runners, they fit me perfectly, but I don't recommend them for long runs because they feel heavy. If you like a lightweight sneaker with good arch support, I highly recommend Nike Free Run.

Love, love, love hot yoga. Once you can get past the heat, it's extremely beneficial for you. Especially if you have a bad back, sciatica, or stiff joints. The combination of the stretching and the heat will make you feel amazing afterwards.

Slow to find this thread. I started couch to 5k last week. I love it and it's the kick in the ass that I need to get me in shape for the 3 5k's I signed up for this year.

What's with the super negativity? She was just saying what works for her. I'm 10 weeks post op on Monday and I've only lost 30 lbs. I diet my ass off watch everything I put in my mouth, get plenty of protein and low carbs, I work my ass off at the gym 4 days a week and the scale isn't moving. So, just because a set pattern of eating habits works for a lot of people, it doesn't mean that it works for all people. Just sayin.

I have a protein shake for breakfast. Mid morning is a piece of cheese or Greek yogurt. Lunch is a salad with grilled chicken, or 2 hardboiled eggs (no yolk) and a piece of cheese, dinner is a little tricky sometimes. Sometimes I'll have an omelet with feta cheese and mushrooms, sometimes I just pick at things, like triscuits and hummus, maybe a portobello burger (no bread), etc. I drink approximately 64 ounces of liquid a day.

The staff physician is disappointed in my weight loss, however, the surgeon said I'm fine because I've lost several pants sizes. He says that the scale will catch up eventually, but he doesn't know how long it will take.

Starting weight is 263. I'm 35.

Went in for my 8 week appointment on Thursday and I'm only down 17 pounds. Even the doctor said that they are disappointed in my weight loss. They sent me for a complete blood workup, but, Idk what else to do. I've all but cut starches out of my diet, I take in about 800 calories a day, I get about 80 grams of protein, and I've started going back to the gym. In my mind, this weight should be flying off of me. So upsetting.

Surgery on January 28th. I've lost 22 pounds. I just started working out today. Took a yoga class. I take in around 800 calories per day.

Am I the only person that has not had an issue with eating and drinking at the same time? I mean, I'm barely taking in 8 ounces of fluid with a meal, but, I find that the food doesn't hurt me so much going down when I drink as well.

I'm 6 weeks out and I started losing large amounts of hair about 2 weeks ago. I clean out the brush every morning. On top of that, my complexion is suffering. I've got dry patches all of my face that even my combo of face wash, gentle scrub, and moisturizer is not working. I don't know what else to do.

I started drinking Premier Protein 2 weeks post surgery. I still have a hard time sucking one down. They are the best tasting I've had, and the smaller size is great, but, it feels heavy sometimes.

I'm in the same boat. I'll be 6 weeks post op on Monday and I've lost 23 pounds so far. I lost all that weight in my first week and a half. 3 1/2 week plateau, I've finally started losing again this week.
