A Blessing In Disguise



Recommended Posts

I originally started and completed all of my pre op requirements at Bellevue Hospital and they require you to see a "family planning" specialist, which means you have to go on birth-control prior to surgery to ensure you do not get pregnant right after lap-band. I was pretty PISSED because I have this stupid pride in the fact that hubby and I have NEVER used any birth control method besides pulling out. I opted for a IUD because it's non-hormonal and I don't have to do anything for it to work. Now I'm kinda HAPPY it's there because after losing nearly 40lbs, I'm the one who usually initiates ;)

Hubby doesn't know it's there so we are still pulling out. He doesn't know not because I WANT to keep it a secret, it's because the prankster in me wants to one day have an "accident" and keep him guessing (and worried) for a few weeks. But I REALLY want to tell him already so we don't always have to.... you know.... Pull out.

Wow...that's...too funny =) I had an IUD after I had my two kids and it didn't work out well for me at all so listen to your body that's all I'm gonna say! As for pulling out.....tell him about the IUD girl...that's the BIG MOMENT!!! I think it's crazy when people say they do that LOL!!! Luckily my Hubs had the big snip before my surgery so it has been all good. And just like you it's always me ready to rock and roll.....hahaha!

My Hubs knew it was in there the whole time but I had to go in TWICE to get it trimmed because it was poking LOL. Amongst other problems I had as in I went crazy but that's another story....

It's actually not like a tampon string, it's more of a wire so it stays strait and doesn't bend up into the cervix....

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
