I sure hope so. It took me 4 years to have my daughter and we have been trying again for 5 years. I really would like to start trying again in September. I think a lot has to do with me getting older too. My doctor told me weight loss and hitting my mid 30's would even out my hormones. Fingers crossed for another baby in the future..lord knows I am not getting any younger here.

I have PCOS and I had Lap band surgery on 2/28. I haven't had cycles on my own for about 10 years. This Sunday, I started a period on my own, but only lasted on Sunday and nothing Monday and now spotting again. Anyone else experienced this? It is amazing to have a period on my own, but what is up with it being sporadic days?

I notice the same things. I only allow myself the amount that I am suppose to eat and it has been working for me by doing that. Sometimes I am really hungry in the evenings, but I try to keep busy exercising and I don't notice it as much. It can be hard though. I go and get another fill on the 22nd and I am hoping that gives me a little more restriction.

I eat the yoplait 2x protein greek everyday. Not sure how much sugar is in it, but I really don't mind..it has not stopped my weight loss by having a little sugar in it. I love the key lime...it is so good. I figure I deserve to have something that tastes sweet and is good for you too. It has 13 grams of protein.

Welcome!

Welcome to bandland!

We were just talking about getting periods with PCOS and I actually just started one on my own...Thank God! I feel great to actually have one now. I actually ovulated!

Banded 2/28/13..lost 25 lbs total.

I actually had diarrhea the first week and now I have to take something daily to be able to go at all. I think I would much rather have the diarrhea.

It is completely normal, just watch for excessive drainage, temperatures, redness, etc.

That is such awesome thing you are doing and God is going to reward you for being so selfless.

Bless your heart. Hang in there. Saying a prayer for you now. I hope that it goes away soon. Ask about getting some of those motion sickness pads that go behind your ear. They help it.

Yep, swelling does that to ya. You will see weight loss soon enough. Good Luck!

My first fill was 3/20/13 and I had 3 cc's put in. I have lost a steady 1-2 lbs a week since then. Not sure if it is the green zone, but I am really never hungry anymore and I can only eat 1/2 to 1 cup of food.

Awesome! I was thrilled this past weekend when I fit into a size 14, it has been 10 years! Feels great!

Well, I am in GA, but the northeast corner, so that wouldn't work. Feel free to add me as a friend though. You are from Jason Aldean country then?

Hopefully! Fingers crossed for you.

Great job! I love how much energy I have now too.

Awesome job!

I notice if I wake up and slept on that side that it is a little sore for a day. I try not to sleep on that side, but sometimes I just do it while asleep.

I eat when I am hungry. That is usually 3 meals a day and maybe 2 snacks, but I can only get in 900 calories. I am never really hungry anymore, so sometimes it is hard to get all the calories in. Hope this helps.

I missed my goal by 1 lb. I weighed in at 206...I am still pretty darn proud of myself. Great job guys!

I am just hoping that my periods come back with weight loss...PCOS sucks! I lost about 20 lbs before I had Lap band and I did have a period on my own, so fingers crossed.

Cheesecake factory is awesome, but I want to be skinny more than I want that. Great job you two!

Great advice! I always say I don't need easy, just possible. I think I heard it on a movie, not sure which one though. Have a good day!
