I had diarrhea 4 days post op and continued to have it until 15 days post-op when I had my first solid. It's different for everyone. My doctor told Me to take milk of magnesium if I didn't go after 4 days post op.

Oh I believe you, but most people on birth control feel like their pregnant so they crave and go crazy. I gained like 60 lbs on my b.c. Pills. I craved though I felt super hungry from being emotional (emotional eater) but your right a lot of people just gain from hormones. I should of added that into my comment

I love it! I have only been on it for a little bit. It's one shot every three months. It's quick and I don't have to think about it everyday. I haven't spotted or anything. I've heard a lot of people said they've gained weight on it, but I think you have to give into those cravings they cause you to have (which I haven't had any) any birth control can cause weight gain, because it tricks your body into thinking it pregnant. I use to take seasonique which I loved but the first year bc pills are only 30% effective because of absorption.

I used goo gone to take it off but it wasn't in my actual incisions just around them. I did have tape on three of my incisions and they said if that didn't fall off in 5-7 days I could remove it.

Oh absolutely! I know to a of people with mirena before children

Yeah my doctor even gave me papers explaining how quickly it's in your system. My doctor doesn't like soon mirena or any other IUD on people who haven't had any children yet. As far as weight gain goes I gained tons of weight when I took bc pills. I haven't gained any weight due to mirena yet. I took my bc pill until the day I had surgery. I started my period the day after surgery so 4 days later I got my shot.

Well I was It technically is in your system as soon as you get the shot. My doctor told me to still use condemns for the first week to be safe (I did) My doctor said even if I didn't though I'd be fine.

Also, maybe you should measure yourself maybe you are losing way more inches but the scale hasn't caught it yet. Pre-op I would lose crazy inches but the scale never moved. Everyone is different. A lot of people in stalls say upping their calories has helped. Keep us posted!

Absolutely!! Breakfast- egg beaters (1/4 cup) Between Breakfast and lunch- Protein shake (8 oz) Lunch- cottage cheese (1 oz) and peaches in peach juice ( I usually only get like 3 bites in) Between lunch and dinner- milk (8 oz) Dinner- 1 oz flaky fish and about 4 green Beans Then Ofcourse tons of Water between. My cardio right now looks like 30 minutes on the treadmill (walking) and 30 minutes on the bike I then also try to do some weights but I'm usually pretty exhausted after all that. I hope this helps!!!

Congrats!!!!

I had it 8 days post op too. I was suppose to wait two weeks. I've done it pretty much everyday since. If it hurts stop, but I've been fine!! Thank god I got the depro shot RIGHT after surgery!!

That's really good to hear. That gives me a lot of hope for my RA and fibro!!

Thanks ill remember that. Ill have to ask my nut if i can add chia seeds now or maybe take something to keep me regular haha.

Oh good, I was so concerned lmao!

Oh also, I forgot to mention, I went back to the gym yesterday. But as soon as you feel up to it. I was walking grocery stores, malls, neighborhood, etc. prior to going to the gym.

Absolutely! I was so worried for awhile. Just take it easy for now! It's much better when you start actually eating.

For me I couldn't have it until 4 weeks out. Everyone's "diet plan" is different though

You look amazing!!!

Omgosh i felt the same way!! I didn't understand why, because I had never been so exhausted after walking the grocery store. Turns out it was just post-op recovering. I am now 19 days post-op and I am going to the gym. I still feel like sh*t when I get back from the gym, but it's because in pushing myself. It will get better! I am happy someone posted on this. When I had this problem I thought my iron was low.

Congrats on your first step!! Good luck on your journey!!

I am not quite at the point that people can tell I've lost weight (18 days pre-op), however my family keeps saying they are so proud of me,which is frustrating. Why are you proud of me?? I had to have surgery to lose weight, which I think is fantastic, but I don't see why they are so proud.

I literally just laughed out loud for like 5 minutes. That is exactly the response I would say.
