  2. Gotta say - you look great before too! I don't think people realize how hard it is to have style with so much less to choose from when u are bigger. What did you go back to hospital for? Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk
  3. My questions to the people reading this would be, after surgery were you in a lot of pain? - Yes, dear God. The pain was unbearable and so uncomfortable. It didn't wear off for about 3 weeks. I cried almost everyday. I literally and physically could not do anything! Did they weigh you in the pre-op area before surgery? - I have no idea. They gave me some happy calming pills before surgery. I can't remember much. What were you most surprised about after your surgery? I was surprised it hurt to laugh, cough and I could not twist / turn to wipe on the toilet. They leave that out in the books. What happened to you that you didn't expect after surgery? My period started the day after surgery which gave me more pain and cramping. I also got a uti and a kidney infection that didn't go away for over a month. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk
  4. Well 3 pounds can come back off within a few days!! My husband is always forcing me to eat - is re-donk-culious!!! Not sure what he's scared of, I'm seriously 100 pounds from anything close to small. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

  7. Finally a updated picture!!! People are starting to say I look really thin, which is impossible cause I'm still over 200 pounds! I guess weight loss surgery doesn't apply to boobs. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

  11. I eat spinach a lot and it goes down well and does not make me sick. I sautee it in a pan with lil olive oil, garlic and can't believe it's not butter. I can almost eat it as a meal. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

  13. I was on BCP and the day after my surgery my cycles started and pretty much refused to go away. Finally got NuvaRing and it's getting back to normal. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

  17. To boost the amount of Iron in your diet, try these foods: Red meat Egg yolks Dark, leafy greens (spinach, collards) Dried fruit (prunes, raisins) Iron-enriched cereals and grains (check the labels) Mollusks (oysters, clams, scallops) Turkey or chicken giblets Beans, lentils, chick peas and soybeans Liver Artichokes Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk
  18. I had to attends local group instead and have her sign off on papers. This is a great question. You may want to ask Alex of its possible to provide tangible proof of your participation. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk
  19. Yeah. I'm almost 3 months and I'm starting to forget. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk
  20. I have a hard time wearing a tanpon, but the Nuva ring fits like a charm. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk
  21. I heard the arm implant was absorbed through stomach like the pill so it is not as effective. I'm trying Nuva ring first before the IUD. So far, Nuvaring is ok. Can't feel it and no Superbad side effects. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk
  22. Great job john!! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk
  23. Hey, yes I've been diagnosed with both. The medication I was taking got stuck every single time! I'm almost 3 months out and so far I have not had any improvements. My back pain and migraies are really bad, but that could just be a part of the process. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk
  24. Omg. What complications did u have? Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk
