Speaking of which... I am actually in the process of trying to figure which kind of contraception to go with... I have only been on it once for several months, the pill, and I gained weight and was extremely hormonal.. so ibreally don't want that... I've heard about mirena, but I've also heard the no so good side of mirena, is t true u stop getting ur period with mirena? That doesn't seem right.. but anyway,, what kinds have you tried/are on and what would u recommend since the pill is NOT an option for me

What's the consensus on Nuvaring?

I guess ive tried everything lol. I was on nuvaring for like a month and it came out during sex. ..I dont know if I did it wrong but if your partner has a large member I wouldn't suggest it haha

I was also told by others that even if you are in a committed relationship you should probably use birth control and condoms during your weight loss period because losing weight causes you to become very fertile...and a lot of women still get pregnant on even the most reliable b/cs.

True! Especially since hubby and I are done with kids. We have 2, a girl 5 and a boy 1. I should probably schedule an appt with my obgyn soooooon, cause all this sex were having is rissssky... mirena sounds interesting, ill look it up thanks for all the tips and info ;-)

I have the Mirena for over 7 years. Had the first one for 5 and then had it changed. It all depends on person but yes it does stop your period. It releases a minimal amount of hormone. You can have some break thru bleeding but all in all I love my Mirena. Only thing now is I went 7 years with a couple of very light to no periods. I had surgery on 4/22/13 lost 39lbs and since surgery I have gotten period for the past 2 months. It sucks.

Well I was It technically is in your system as soon as you get the shot. My doctor told me to still use condemns for the first week to be safe (I did) My doctor said even if I didn't though I'd be fine.

How do you like the depo? I'm on nuvaring and looking for something more permanent but I'm scared of IUDs. Doesn't depo cause weight gain?

Lol! I've been on nuvaring for 7 years! It's very effective! My hubby is um.. Gifted? Lol.. And it sometimes comes out depending on the position (lol tmi) but as long as you out it back in within 3 hours its still effective! I'm don't havering kids though, and was considering mire a, but I'm scared of it puncturing something!

The risk of it puncturing something is probably smaller than the risk of dying from the sleeve surgery. It was just awkward when it kept coming out.

I know you were talking to JessicaAnn but any bc with hormones that are not centrally located can cause weight gain...it doesnt for everyone but some It does. Depo is the number one for that but again not everyone experiences that. I was on depo for a year and gained 20lbs.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
