    Regret

    I was sleeved on March 7 and have been feeling so discouraged and scared to say anything about it. Will I ever eat again? Will I ever be happy w/the results? I've lost 30lbs and have no more diabetes but I cannot eat. I sip all day. Protein makes my breath stink and leaves a milky film in my mouth so I pretty much gag through trying to get in 60 grams a day. Which I never hit. I'm just doing the best I can but how healthy can it be for me to sip Water, tea, suck on ice and get in maybe 9 oz of Protein shake a day? I feel like I'm failing and setting myself up for health issues. I eat pea size amounts of say chicken or tuna or salmon. Chew it throughly and slowly and it still gets stuck. I've given up and just drink. I can eat no where near the amount of food that's listed as a daily food intake from my doctor for stage 3. I really hope it does get better as everyone says. I thought I researched and knew all there was to know before getting sleeved. I wasn't prepared to not be able to eat tiny amounts very slowly. You are not alone.

    IUD - What should I expect?

    For me I had given birth 19 years prior to my Mirena insertion so maybe that helped but maybe not. I was given a prescription to take 1 day before insertion to "soften" my uterus and another pill while waiting for the dr to begin the procedure. I felt cramping on a scale of a 7-8, it took all of about maybe 5 minutes. Not long at all. I did feel a bit faint as I sat up and the cramping continued. I'm glad I had a ride to take me home. Could have driven buy really just wanted to recline back and relax. Mirena has been the best BC I've used to date so you are making a good decision. Good luck and you got this!
