obviously call your doctor/surgeon/nurse ect first before deciding anything, but from what i gathered it is a small enough pill and should work just fine, take with food and lots of (sips) of Water, also you may want to consider an iud, i have the copper iud (hormone free) and we use rubbers and even spermicidal foam when i am VERY paranoid, we have only *ahem* been intimate twice since surgery but are taking NO chances, of course as soon as I hit that 18-24 month mark all bets are off! I can't wait to start TRYING to get pregnant! we lost a baby a year ago (canada day) and it was a huge hit to both of us emotionally, but when we found out my surgery was coming up it helped ease that feeling of desperation and helped us look forward to the possibility of another child soon and far enough away from the miscarriage that we have both moved on with great success

thanks, i have always taken solace in the fact that it happened on canada day, the day we lost the baby we came home and my partner put our recliners on the balcony (15th floor) and we sat holding hands and watched the fireworks, it made me feel like we were able to Celebrate the possibility of life and this year we did the same thing, sat on the balcony and watched the fireworks for him and it made it feel less lonely and more significant.

I am also able to rejoice in the fact that the next time we try for a child i will be in much better health and will be in a much better capacity to parent two children. it is all about self-care, which in turn helps promote a better family life <3

Punk Rock Mama, you are some kind of wonderful my dear, thanks for sharing and I'm sorry for your loss.

The pharmacist said I have the go ahead and just to keep an eye on things.

Btw, the sexy night made for some awkward positions but it really helped me gas today, my breathing is deeper and I slept like a baby without any meds at all!

Bawhahaha we went for some good old slow sweet vanilla, which with the pain was actually quite spicy :P

I have no problem sharing my experiences, you never know who has been through what until you ask, and you never know what you can relate to until you hear someone else say it :)

It's all about the endorphins baby! An I think a) not being able to do it makes you want it more and B) personally, having my man cater to me night and day made me crazy about him and re-awakened a deep love and appreciation for him...and what better way to show him lol

      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.
