Hey Sammie, I love it but I also love Houston, it's hard to think of leaving everyone and everything. It's for a great reason but it still gets to me, we shall see what happens . First I want to get sleeved and lost weight.

New Orleans is like my second home. I'm there every month visiting my boyfriend. Hope to be there for good in a year or so.

They really need to take it off the market.

Oh for sure, anytime Hun. It affects everyone differently but the added hormones really screwed me up. I just wanna be normal lol. Best of luck to you

D1, I chose para guard cuz there r no added hormones or expected weight gain. Mirena has hormones just like depo did and I didn't wanna risk more gaining. My periods are normal. I get them and sometimes I don't, I really wanted something that I didn't have to think about taking each day, having my cycle wasn't a concern for me.

Hey Lissa, as far as last year it was. I'm so glad I stopped taking it when I did. I heard of weight gain but didn't think it was going to be so much...

I really regret ever being on it. It's the worst thing invented lol

Thank you! U keep in touch as well!!

Good to hear! Can't wait til June 11th. I'll be at Dr. Alvarez then!

Thanks Joni ! God willing it will all work out! ????

???? of course! Thanks for the encouragement !!

I haven't tried it yet. I was looking up recipes for my post up and came across it. I really like strawberry and cherry jello so that's probably the flavors I will go with.

Found this and it looked yummy! Ingredients: 1 packet of sugar-free Jello mix (JELL-O) 1 scoop whey Protein 2 tbsp. fat-free or low-fat yogurt 2 cups of Water Note: This recipe is good for 2 servings. Nutritional Facts: (amount per serving) Calories: 100g Total Fat: 0.5g Total Carb: 1.5g Sugar: 0.5g Dietary Fiber: 0g Protein: 16g Steps: Low-Carb Protein Jello Recipe 1) Use a cooking pan and pour 2 cups of water. Turn on the stove afterwards and allow the water to boil. 2) When the water reaches to its boiling point, turn off the stove and pour in the packet of jello. 3) Use a spoon and stir it occasionally. 4) When your jello has completely liquefied from the boiling water, use a Pyrex container or just a pan and pour the water into it. 5) Add 1 scoop of whey protein but before doing it, take two cups of cold water and add whey protein in the shaker bottle then shake it out until the powder dissolves. You can use any flavor whey powder you want like strawberry and vanilla. 6) When the Protein Powder has totally mixed into 2 cups of cold water, dispense it over the jello then use a spoon to mix it altogether. 7) Place it on the refrigerator for approximately 4 hours or wait until it is firm enough just like any other jello. 8) After 4 hours, you’ll have a pleasant and healthy strawberry-vanilla flavored protein jello. 9) Cut the jello into 4 pieces and just take one of those pieces then place it in a bowl. Afterwards, add your favorite fat-free or low-fat yogurt and some banana pieces on top of your yogurt. Again, it depends on your like if you like to have a banana on top of your jello recipe.

So funny how it's the little things like straws and gulping water/drinks are my biggest worries. I too use a straw with everything I drink.... Stressful LoL

I've gained like 30 and it's driving me nuts because it's do hard to lose now. I know my sleeve will work with me I just get obsessed with how much I've gained. I honestly don't care about having my cycle, I did it more so I dont have to think about taking something daily. I now have the para guard IUD and I love it so far.

Hey slim, thanks for ur remarks. I had to get off of it too because of the bad side effects. Wow 18 months, thanks for that info. Hope it doesn't affect me when I get my sleeve .

Any ladies have this problem? So I got off the depo shot a year ago and since then I feel like im constantly gaining weight. I'm getting my sleeve in June, but I'm so frustrated. I made a doctors appointment. All my blood work came out normal and my thyroids are good. Anyone know how long it takes to get the depo out of ur system or if anyone thinks it really messes with ur hormones that much and makes u gain weight that quickly? I watch what I eat most of the time but no where to where I would gain as much as I have... So irritating

Oh ok I'm sorry for the miscommunication

4Alongerlife- I've checked out her site and it's really neat... I actually have bigger plans once I start my journey, thank for the inspiration !! I really want to open a place to serve WLS patients. Kinda of like a grab and go for us... But small, healthy, and tasty and of course made from scratch.

Why don't u try adding in some sugar free syrup or instant decaf coffee? If u like frappuccinos that's a great way to go. U can always add something to try to take away that "taste". Hope this helps !

I haven't had my sleeve yet but I did a 30 day raw food/ vegan diet and it was awesome... I lost 10 pounds and u honestly don't feel hungry when u cleanse ur body like this. It gives u so much energy and really changes how u feel inside. If u have a whole foods market around they have several options for raw/vegans. You can get protein in several ways too.

You can crush the pills and add them to ur water or shake. I make sure I get the hard crushable pills to crush. Vita fusion chewables taste pretty good too. They also carry many forms of B12 liquid form u can try.

I take biotin and prenatal pills. U would be surprised what prenatal pills do for you whether u r pregnant or not.

My doctor said take 5000 mg a day, that's what I'm doing

Meant to put a smiley face lol I dunno why it says dde03....
