I just got banded on 11/29 and I was on clear liquids all week so the hot tea in these flavors were so helpful. They didn’t sell the ginger snap or egg nog tea in my local grocery store but I am still looking because I think this will help satisfy my sweet tooth also. Thanks for all the tips. I need all the help I can get!</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Weight Loss & My Period by Katy</h1> <p>Katy — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 19:38:23 +0000</p> <p>Hi Jennifer,</p> <p>I can certainly appreciate your take on it. But for me, uterine ablation isn’t something that I’d want to reverse. Should we decide to have another child my partner would be the one to carry the child OR (and more preferably) we’d adopt again. We also strongly take the stance that we’re D.O.N.E. I have no desire for another child (my daughter is 5). And lastly and much more selfishly I’m not losing all of this weight to gain even a pound back… even for pregnancy. Nope, will not do it. So it’s not the fact that something else could work as well. It’s the fact that something else would be an alternative with hassles that simply are not needed. Again, I don’t want to discredit what you have said. And I can only imagine how thankful you feel to have chosen to get an IUD. And as a Mom, I can only imagine how you feel and am so sorry for your loss. I certainly do not want my stance to take away from what you have gone through.</p> <p>Congratulations on your surgery!! And thanks for visiting!</p> <p>Katy</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Weight Loss & My Period by Jennifer</h1> <p>Jennifer — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 18:05:21 +0000</p> <p>Hi!<br /> I get you on not wanting a period! At 28, I had 2 children and had no interest whatsoever on having any more children. However, June 28th 2010, I lost my 4 month old to SIDS, and I thank God that I did not get fixed. You’re probably asking yourself, what does this have to do with me?! Well, I opted for an IUD so that over the course of my own lap band journey I could lose weight before becoming pregnant again, and I have to tell you, I don’t regret it. I have NOT had a period since a month after getting it. I know that you’re in a same sex relationship and that being on birth control may seem a bit redundant, but there are other benefits to the IUD too, such as being less moody and an increase in female hormones as opposed to the surge of male hormones from weight gain. They are painless and seem to work great Call me a chicken, I just like less invasive procedures, which is why I got Lap band at 340 VS getting the Roux-N-Y bypass.</p> </article> </main></body></html>
