Thanks guys!

Awesome! Congrats!

My doctor said 18 months, but I am going to talk to him about that. I will be 35 next year and I am not getting any younger. I wanted to start trying in Sept 2013. That would be 7 months post op. I guess we will see.

I only have 3 cc's in my band and sometimes I feel restriction and sometimes I don't. I think it just varies by day and like Missy said...you can pretty much everything you did before with a few exceptions. I stick to a 1/2 to 1 cup and go from there.

I was on birth control for maybe 2 months when I was around 19. I didn't like the way it made me feel. On this period, I just bled off and on for about 5 days, very light. I put a call into my OB to make sure it was normal and they said it was unless I kept doing this for a couple of weeks. I stopped on FrIday, so all is good and I just had myself a light period!!! I am so excited. I have also officially lost 28 lbs and have reached my first goal...to be 200 lbs! I hope I have another period again next month, it would be so exciting to be regular like I never had PCOS to begin with. Good Luck ladies!

No, but I mix mine with coconut milk. It is yummy and much better than dairy milk.

Are you suppose to be eating those types of foods 3 weeks after surgery? I am unsure what kind of meal plan your doctor put you on, but that seems kinda rushing it on the solids. I would call doctor. Hope this helps.

Congrats and thanks for the tips!

Good going!

Good luck! Just start from the basics! Feel free to add me.

I forgot to mention that I have lost 4 babies, because of the PCOS. Needless to say it is my sworn enemy. To be able to conceive naturally and have no complications would be a dream come true. I will pray for all you ladies!

That is awesome! I too have been dealing with for 10 years or more. I am so excited at the prospect of ovulating without any help. Fingers crossed for us!

That is true. I rarely crave sugars anymore. I do love my SF popsicles though.

Yep, completely normal. lol

I stick with grilled chicken or grilled chicken salads. I love Zaxby's. Outback has a Chicken on the barbie kids meal that is good and I still have plenty of food for leftovers. Ruby Tuesday has a lunch portion shrimp that is awesome, if you can do shrimp. Applebee's french onion soup is great too.

Your welcome. Also, I forgot to mention the popsicle brand fudge pops, they are 40 calories per pop. Get the no sugar added or sugar free though.

I have no problems eating chicken or eggs. I only have 3 cc's in my band right now, so it could become a problem after my next fill. I tried a piece of steak that was tender and it went down okay. To be honest I haven't had anything that I couldn't eat so far. No stuck episodes or pbing. Either I am a good chewer or just not enough in the band to cause problems. I guess we will see after my fill on the 22nd.

Congrats!

Well, there is always hope. I don't guess it would hurt anything. I think the insurance will deny it though with that BMI. Fingers crossed for you.

I know..after 6 weeks that is the first thing I went for, after eating fish for a month. It will go by fast.

Congrats! It is a great journey to be in. A lot of lifestyle changes ahead, learn as much as you can before hand. Best decision I have ever made.
