Vines, so does this mean no Graves disease??

Yay!! I'm really happy for you about that, I know how much you were worried.

I also am a PCOS sister. I'm losing my hair and gaining it in the wrong places, as well as having a PCOS belly. I just had a sonoagram yesterday and the cysts were there. I'm not on any meds as they made me too sick, so this band better help me.

ANyway, glad for you. :-)

Well, this is just the first round of test, and there are many more tests to go through. I still could have Cushing's, and there are a whole host of test that they do. If the first group of test come back negative or inconclusive they do more.

Thank you everyone, your continued support means so much for me.

Wow, all of this going on while going to school full-time away from family?! My goodness, vines, I would not be on anti-anxiety medication...I would be in a PADDED CELL!!!! See how strong you are?!?!?!

In all seriousness, I sure do wish they could figure out "we ladies" in the medical sense. I live with inconsistent periods, constant cysts (yeooww, the side pain...I always think it's my intestines or appendix exploding), and everyone around me saying "it will resolve itself when you lose weight". So, girl, I am sooo praying for you because you deserve to be healthy!! You need to worry about your well-being right now and maybe not concentrate so hard on losing weight!! I say, SCREW SKINNY for the time being!!! Let the docs get you figured out - at least, medically speaking - and get you on the right track (again, medically speaking, of course!)

You are one of the major reasons I visit LBT so often, I love to hear your take on things and you are such an inspiration for everyone here!!!

:clock: :):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.
