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.

      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.
