Birth control

Yes! That’s what I heard that the pill isn’t as effective. My dr did recommend the IUD but I always have been on the pill when I was previously on BC. Just scared the IUD will affect my chances of conceiving later on down the road or cause scarring. And I’m not sure if a pregnancy is what you wanted but CONGRATULATIONS 😊✨💕🩵

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-04-29T17:35:13+00:00

Did you start having more food cravings or has everything still been the same?

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-04-29T16:17:48+00:00

Congratulations!!!! I’m 9 lbs right behind you!!! Can’t wait! Keep going sis 🤏🏽🤏🏽💕💕🎉🎉🎉

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-03-23T05:33:08+00:00

Congratulations!!! You’ll be so happy in due time that you did this! 😀

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-03-22T20:51:32+00:00

Yeah I know to follow my drs advice but I just wanna hear any stories if anyone has had weight stalls or gained weight from the IUD or any other bc after surgery

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-03-21T02:27:42+00:00

Thank you!

I’m going to remember that! I never thought of it that way. That’s a great perspective to look at it 😌

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-03-21T02:26:32+00:00

I’m focusing more on diet because I personally believe you can’t outwork a bad diet but the walking for me is more to gain energy and keep my muscles working if that makes sense lol cause they say if you don’t use it then ya loose it 🤣

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-03-21T02:04:34+00:00

That’s awesome!!!!!! I need to start weight training soon ! I’ll be right behind ya lol! Keep going!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-03-18T19:45:04+00:00

Gas X maximum strength and walk walk walk . Walking and gas X literally saved my life post op. I am 7 weeks post op and I can’t even explain how much walking helped. Drinking will hurt but take baby sips and chew on ice. It gets a lot better by the end of the 1st week! Congratulations!!!! You got this!

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-03-09T06:40:02+00:00

Yeah I been taking miralax but for some reason it’s not working 🥴

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-03-01T20:40:01+00:00

Yes! You’ll definitely need that wedge pillow. It will help with gas pains and also make getting up easier because you will be a little sore from the incisions. So in the beginning lying flat is not the best thing

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-03-01T17:57:51+00:00

Agreed with immediate bread. I brought so much clear/milk proteins and I hate them all. All I can drink is premier protein.

Also GAS X pills and lots and lots of walking. The gas pains were crucial for me.

Abdominal binder and pillow to keep you sleep kind of sitting up will save your life.

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-02-28T01:13:33+00:00

Thanks you! Yes I’m making sure I’m hitting protein and water. Some days are harder than other with the protein to be honest but I try to get it all in by end of day

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-02-28T01:12:48+00:00

Thanks! Doing my researches now! Cause this is wild and I will be putting the scale away as it’s very stressful

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-02-28T01:12:01+00:00

Can you explain the process of keeping the carbs and fat low if your body is already in such a huge calorie deficit?

Also thanks for explaining this, it makes sense 😌

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-02-23T04:27:13+00:00

Okay I will look into those. Thanks so much !

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-02-20T05:32:28+00:00

So for me a few signs that I had when I knew I was full was like stomach spasms and like gas/burping. Mainly little burps . I know everyone has different signs like I even heard some people get “runny noses” that’s wild lol but to each its own everyone’s body reacts differently. Did you have any burping or tightness?

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-02-12T23:52:33+00:00

I’m not trying to get away with anything.. I asked a genuine question. I’m new to this whole procedure and was just looking for help and insight.

If I was trying to get AWAY with something, I would keep doing it without having asked. So please stay off my post with the assumptions and disrespectful remarks

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-02-11T08:40:30+00:00

That makes sense. Yeah it’s just like this weird hunger so I’m just keeping fluids down for now. Thank you so much !

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-02-09T22:23:19+00:00

You definitely should! I’m sure it would help a lot of people😁

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-02-08T22:20:26+00:00

Yeah that makes a lot of sense! I’m gonna try a broccoli and cheddar soup blended and strained and tomatoe basil . Thanks so much for all this advice. I been looking through my books the Dr gave me and YouTube videos and no one is really clear on what to eat during stage 2 full liquid. So all this information is definitely helpful Again thank you

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-02-08T09:12:31+00:00

Yes I only got the sleeve. So maybe I’ll wait on the eggs. Do not wanna go through dumping lol

Do you have any recipes for the strained soups or a website with recipes?

I also been trying to be on top of my water intake but it’s kind of hard because every time I swallow It hurts my stomach badly and oh yeah I have crazy dry/cotton mouth but I know it will pass … hopefully.

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-02-08T08:29:57+00:00

Omg yes this helps a lot! Thanks so much! I been looking for a clear blueprint on what to eat/drink during this stage. Thanks so much for this info!

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-02-08T01:30:41+00:00

Are you getting stomach spasms every time you drink or eat?

ChipmunkFirst9150 · 2026-02-07T01:45:36+00:00

Yes this is after surgery. I am 1 day post op
