Ok so i have a question for the ladies... I'm currently off bc but I have an appointment on the 29th to have a mirena kid put in. I am two months out and doing well with my weight loss my concern is that the our will cause the weight loss to stop or cause a gain! Has anyone had surgery then had an iud? If so what was your experience with it? Did it slow the weight loss? Was the pain of the insertion bad? I just wanted something more reliable than the pill. Thanks for your help!

I have a Mirena place before I had my surgery. I am loosing weight fast and don't even know it's in. When they put it in, it felt like cramping but went away quickly, no more problems after that. I love it. No problems with my weight loss. ;)

UGH. I had the mirena in 2007 and had it removed in 2008. My periods STILL have not regulated since I had it. I used to be like clock work. My husband could feel it and ...between us ladies...you tend to discharge more. I hated it. It HURT when they put it in. Sorry to be such a "debbie Downer" but I HATED my mirena. Others I know Love it, I'm just giving you my version of "the bad and the ugly". No problems either way with weight loss or gain or Hair loss. That's the brighter side.

I had it from 2008-2011, and I loved it for the first while cause I had no periods. And I also had no significant weight gain. But it does take away libido have its been in a while. So I had it removed. I am getting the Paraguard copper IUD. (no hormones! yay)

      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.
