A Blessing In Disguise



Recommended Posts

My wife's method was relatively simple (for her). I came home from a business trip about a year after our daughter was born. Lynn tells me I have a urologist appointment. The doctor then chlorinated the gene pool a week later.

I had a teacher in high school that referred to the pull out method as "Catholic Roulette". She was written up and we never heard that phrase again.....but those of us that heard it never forgot it.

You were nice to do that. My husband refused to so I did it at age 30. I had 2 sons and that was enough for me.

shannon.... I would think about having your GYN do a complete panel on you first. I found i had more problems with the IUD then the ring. The IUD caused excessive bleeding and cramping and it migrated down into my cervix.

The Ring, i found, helped me with my hormone problems. Your hair loss could be from the band.

Keep us posted

It's not the band, I have only had the band for 3 weeks. I've been on the ring for 8 years and my hair has been gradually thinning - I'm not on any other meds. I've had my labs checked countless times & nothing shows. But one if the side affects listed for Nuvaring is hair thinning

That might explain my HEAVY period last month.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
