My name is Cheshire, I have been dealing with PCOS since I was about 16 diagnosed with it in 2008. I have been trying to naturally or with diet and exercise to get rid of the almost 150lbs of weight that the doctor says I need to lose to become healthy. After a lot of time and reserach, my husband and I have decided that weight loss surgery is something we need to consider. So here I am going through the pysch visit, doing the sleep study test(tonight until wedensday) and my first visit with the nutrionist next week. I have a surgery date scheduled for Feb8,2016. Was wondering if anyone out there has a similiar story or a surgery date in Feb as well. Can't really talk about it with my family because we all (mom, mother-in-laws I have 2, sisters aunts and uncles dont really see eye to eye on the matter.

      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.
