So you have gained 4 pounds a week for the past 3 weeks or you lost 10 pounds the first week, gained 4 the second week and your weight has remained the same for three weeks. It hasn't even BEEN 4 weeks since 7/24. That's when I got my surgery.

What is pcos?

I had surgery one month ago. I was losing weight rapidly and then BOOM i've been stuck at 203 for like two weeks now...if not a little more than two weeks...I also have PCOS. Had not had a cycle in 5-6 months and I too finally got it.

It's extremely frustrating I just keep telling myself it's just a stall...it will break soon...it's taking a toll on me mentally and emotionally at this point.

I got stuck at exactly 2:03 also! I started at 2:23. I stayed at 2:03 for what seemed like 3 weeks and then all the sudden I was down to 190! Hang in there, it will come off I promise.

Having said that, I don't know anything about PCOS. It doesn't sound fun. So sorry you both have that to deal with along with your surgery.

Sometimes you need to back off and let your body adjust I guess.

yup...Basically...I think all the walking I did combined with the slight spike in calories forced my body to let go of the stall. You can eat whatever you want, just not much of it thats for sure.

Yup, I love a good slice of pizza. I can eat a whole normal slice now, barely. I used to do 4 easy. Pizza was one food that I told my doctor if i could never eat again I wasnt doing the surgery. I was serious...

PS California pizza is TRASH...I ordered when we were in LA and the guy at the hotel recommended the place as the best around and I couldnt believe that called that crap pizza.

      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.
