I'm new here & pre surgery but I have PCOS too and I'm grateful to hear so many success stories because I have my own fears about losing the weight. It has always been so hard & slow to lose weight for me and I worry if I will lose weight with surgery the way so many others have or if it will be difficult because of my PCOS. I have about 200lbs to lose but I am hopeful!

I think (in my case anyway) IMO that its harder for me with PCOS to lose weight...even with the band...I lost 12 lbs in the past month but I'm not counting on that to be the norm every month & my doc says it can even be 1/2 lbs or less a week losing...but I'm Ok with ANY weight loss as you can see I have to lose 200+ also but I am just going to take it one day at a time... and face each day as it comes...that's all I can do.. I am keeping a positive outlook no matter what! I believe in the power of positive thinking :-) It's Hard work & it's Not easy but I know we can do 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.
