You would just have to decide what's better for you. I'm terrible with remembering to take my pills so the nuva ring was cool. I wore it for three weeks and then removed it one week and then started over.

Lol the nuva ring is a plastic ring that you insert in your vajayjay for three weeks and then you take it out after the third week. You dispose of it. During the week that it is out.......your period should come. Then after that 4th week is over you put a fresh ring back in. They are very handy and Planned Parenthood will alow you to get three at a time....and you have to store the extras in the fridge.

I was on the nuva ring so long my period stopped coming all together until I stopped using the ring it came back after a month or so.

I must agree. I'm so confused about what to do after surgery. I have been on the pill for a year now and loved it, but don't want to chance getting prego post op. I tried the Nuva ring in the past, but my girlie parts lay on their back so it wouldn't stay in. So then I tried depo. My goodness did I get horrible acne and mood swings. Next came the Mirena. I was miserable for months and we couldn't figure out why. Finally after my FOURTH ER visit. A nurse practitioner pointed out that I was actually having contractions and my cervix was dilating and trying to push the Mirena out because of how tilted my uterus is. Every hospital I went to refused to take it out because of "liability" reasons. It was a terrible experience. My fiancé ended up pulling it out one day when I couldn't stand up from how bad the contractions were. So now I'm stuck. my next step is to try the Implanon and pray I don't have some kind of freakish reaction to it! 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.
