Ok I lost nothing last week. So far I been told my WL has been good. In the back of my mind I always think about my PCOS. I have to work double time to get the weight off and triple to keep it off. Have any of you, had this issue with your PCOS?

well i haven't been banded yet but i have pcos and that is one of the main reasons i'm getting this done. my doctor told me that once i drop 60 lbs i shouldn't have any symptoms of pcos that your body sort of starts a new and your hormones change and less cortisol is released you will start to ovulate again so on and so forth. hope this helped.

Im wishing you the best of luck on your journey. Some people get the surgery for other reasons, none is more important than the other. But this right here is a challenge. GOOD LUCK!

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. :)

      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.
