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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
