This is my last two weeks before I submit to insurance before approval, it's been a long hard 3 month diet (hats off to everyone who has to do 6 month or more). I have pcos which makes it hard to lose weight, hence why I am having WLS. So I've been very strictly for 3 months sticking to my 90 carb and 100 grams of Protein diet I walk 2 miles atleast 5 days a week I attend a hour hip hop case once a week and Water cardio every Saturday. So today I go to put my jeans on and I can barely get them buttoned. In reality I know it's most likely the pcos preventing me from losing, I'm terrified that I will be unsuccessful even with surgery. Is it possible some people can't lose weight at all?! I'm so upset!!!

@AudreyDarling I have PCOS too, and I know all too well how hard it is to lose weight. I feel like all I had to do was look at carbs and I would gain ten pounds easily. No joke. I am 7 months out from VSG and I have lost 97 pounds since surgery and 108 pounds since I started my journey. As long as you stick to your surgeon and NUT's plan you will be successful! Work out as much as you can when you are allowed to do so. This tool works, as long as you use it correctly. Good Luck to you!

      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?

      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.
