2 Forms Of Bc



Recommended Posts

I was told by my doc to use 2 forms of BC after surgery, which isn't a prob... even though it kinda stinks. My question is how long do I need to use more than one? My doc didn't really explain that well. I tried to look it up but came out unsuccessful. Thank you!

I was told that when you lose weight that you can become very fertile and right after surgery, the first year is a bad time to conceive.

I know this is awful to say but I hate condoms! Thank God I don't do the dating scene anymore. The only reason I can think for using two methods of bc would be because the only method that is 100% fail proof is abstinence.

Why don't you like condoms?

Honestly, I just prefer the feel of a man bare. You don't have to bother with stopping and putting it on...you just get on with business. And since I have no uterus or ovaries and I am married, I won't have to worry with pregnancy or STD...the last one I better not....lol.

My doc was fine with me having just my IUD, but still told me to be careful. He said the first year to 18 months is not the best time to get pregnant due to the quick weight loss. Check with obgyn and see what he/she recommends. I personally don't like condoms as well. Good luck!

      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.
