Just wondering if you have PCOS and you have had RNY did you notice a slower weight loss then others that had it in the same month as you? I know we all want it gone faster than we should but I notice I am slower. Partly because I did not have a prior diet requirement pre-op but I am wondering if the pcos might be the culprit too?

I don't have pcos and have had the bypass yet but losing 41lbs in less than 4 months seems like Amazing accomplishment! Keep up the good work!

It was suspected that I had pcos but not confirmed. My weight loss has been about on par with others who had surgery at the same time as me and had a similar starting weight.

I have PCOS and sometimes when I look at everyones weight loss I feel behind. I had my surgery Feb 3,2014. When I look at how much I've lost I feel like I've lost plenty and I'm still losing.

Thank you Auri, I appreciate that. I am amazed at my weight loss. I truly am. It just seems low in comparison to others who had surgery the same month as me but believe me, I'll take it!!!!!!!!!!

      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.
