I need to do this for me! I've been trying for years to get pregnant and it was so easy with my first when I was a size 12. I can't be the Lapband posterchild. I know I love the youtube videos but I can't devote that kind of time for everyone to be on this journey with me. This was a decision I made before I had surgery. As for people who ask. Im doing what I need to do to get pregnant with pcos.

Its everyones choice on what they do but I know that I will tell the world if they let me!!! I kept it quiet until I knew for sure that I was going to do it then once I knew it was for me, I told everybody!! lol... I look at it this way... People judge me for being fat so why wouldnt I want to let them know that Im doing something to get myself in shape?? If they have a problem with it then thats their fault! I used to think that getting the lapband was the "easy" way! Boy was I WRONG!!!! You still have to work at it. My husband and I got it done the same day so that is a huge help! My advise.... Who cares what people think.... we have to live for us not them!!! They look at me when im fat so I hope they look when Im looking fine in my skinny jeans!!! lol Good luck with your journey!!

Same here...(on the baby thing)

We had 2 unsuccessful IVFs. My weight might not necessarily be the reason for that failure, however I want to make sure to do everything in my power to illuminate even the possibility that it was the reason…. before I try any further fertility treatments

      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.
