  1. I've had the Mirena IUD for 11 years, but removing is definitely not an option. I am going to increase my Water from 70 to as much as possible. Ash said not to stress it's normal so I am going to relax and see what happens. Oh no! I wouldn’t tell you to ditch it. You’ve been on it for 11 years with no side effects so I’m sure it’s fine. Mine was just torture and gave me further issues upon removal. My body doesn’t like hormones and luckily for me I’m not dating so being without it isn’t an issue. Hope you see results soon! Wishing you the best! Also, consider taking measurements, sometimes the scale will get you down
  2. Not to get personal but are you on any kind of hormones? In the beginning I had a hard time losing weight and I had the nexplanon birth control implant. Once I got it removed I started losing again. I guess my body didn’t like hormones. But also consider what everyone else is saying about the fluids and healing. It will start coming off. Keep fighting the good fight. Best wishes
  3. I’m 5’7” and at my heaviest I was 321 but when I started my journey I was 309. My surgery date is 6/28/18. At the end of my 7 months of required nutrition visits I was 283. But then I got on birth control and ballooned up to 294. I was told not to worry about it because the liquid diet will take the weight off but it is very annoying ??‍♀️
