I was wondering what everyone is taking for lunch? I have always had a hard time finding things I like for lunch and now it's even worse. Hopefully you all can give me some new ideas. I am 2 months post op, regular diet. Thanks

I most definitely think we I have to work harder to lose due to PCOS but I think about pre surgery diet and I would work so hard doing everything right and maybe lose 5 lbs in 3 months so I am so thankful that my hard work is finally paying off. I was never a eat too much kind of person. I was always on a diet that never worked on looking the next one to try. Now in 2 moths I've lost 20lbs and for the first time in my life I'm not on a diet per say just eating smaller portions. Could not be happier.

I too have PCOS but I'm to scared to go off BC. I have been on it for 15 years and every time in the past I went off it was a disaster. We're you lady's on BC before?

Had my first fill today! It was so cool to see my band and watch the flow of liquid get slower defiantly nothing to worry about if you have one coming up it was easy.

I also was so cold and I'm in FL!!! I got chewable iron and have been taking it for 3 weeks, I am still cold but much better than I was.

I am right with you! My first fill is next Thursday so one more week to go. I hope I can stay strong and not eat to much but it's very hard because like you I know I could eat it all. As others have said that's why what we are in is called bander hell! Good luck to us both lol

Hi Ashely! I am 28, I also have PCOS. I was diagnosed when I was 18. I have been on a diet my whole life it seems lol. I had my sx on 3/1/13 and have never been happier. Down a total of 15 lbs so far. Most I've ever lost in a month before this was 5 lbs so I feel like this will be the tool I needed so long ago.

How long after surgery will I be bed ridden?

I am with I also got sick from pain meds with my tummy tuck. This was a walk in the park compared to my tummy tuck. You will do fine. Just a heads up I did get sick with this sx too and had to call for anti nausea meds so you might want to ask for them a head of time. -
Did anyone have to pay additional fee?
Alig02 replied to rdm's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went to one surgeon that charged a $1500 program fee for insurance people. I went to a new surgeon that didn't have a fee and all I had to pay was 200 copay. I figured I would need that $ for new cloths so why pay it to the surgeon when others don't charge a fee! -
I was cleared at my 2 week apt.

Banded 3/1/13 I'm eating between 800 and1000 cal a day, at least 60g of protein and working out an hour a day 5 days a week. I lost 10 lbs after surgery and then nothing for the last week! I know the first month is for healing but its just so frustrating! I don't have my first fill until 3/11 and I feel like I need it now! Help!
