Hi sstark, I am 26, 5'1" and also have PCOS. I too am a carb addict. I had the sleeve almost 3 months ago and have dropped 43lbs so far from my starting weight of 285lbs. I can honestly tell you that if I ever try to overindulge, the sleeve certainly lets me know.. it is restrictive in the sense that we can eat anything but just a little of it. I cannot speak about the bypass but so far the sleeve seems to be working very well for me and I believe that it can do the same for you as well. Whichever surgery you decide to go with, I wish you the very best and a quick and painless recovery

Am a little confused.. my doc prescribed Biotin for me but the tablets are just 10mg each? should it be much higher?

Hi Kathy, I was on Clear liquids for the first 4 days and on full liquids for another 10 days.. so 2 weeks in total before mushies. On mushies another 2 weeks before solids. Hope that helps

Hi Amy, have sent you a request

Hi Lulu! That's great, best wishes!

Added you

Thanks moregoodtimes, tried cytosport, it does have a better mouth feel compared to isopure, but is extremely sweet. Mixed it 50:50 with water to dilute it so increased my water intake as well.. Win win! Haven't seen whey blitz here, will look for it.

Isopure RTD is out of stock at my local mall and they recommended CytoSport instead. The amount of Protein seems about the same in both.. Has anyone tried both? Would you recommend CytoSport? (I have attached the nutrition label and ingredients for CytoSport)

Don't really use it all that regularly, but mine is vicki3007

Hi castiel, so many things on your list are on mine as well.. hope you meet all your goals! Best wishes

Thanks!! *jumps around*

Thank you kitkat, am actually dancing in my office! Good thing I can close the door or people would think I have finally lost it. LOL.

Hi Pam Congrats on your weight loss and hope you do really well on your journey. I am post op but find this to be a really good place to talk to people who know exactly what it's like to be in our shoes. Best wishes and look forward to reading more about your progress.

That's such a great idea! Thanks

I have the biggest grin on my face! Today I am wearing the same blouse I wore to my Econ101 class in 2005!! Guess my hoarding tendency is finally paying off Just wanted to share my joy. Cheers!

That's great news! best wishes for your surgery

Congrats! You look fabulously fantastically amazing!

LMAO! Love this thread, thanks for the laughs

I am in UAE, we get them at a kiosk at the mall here. No unjury here so don't know about those.

Hi livehealthy, I find the shakes hard to drink as well. Have you tried a clear RTD protein like isopure? worked for me

Congrats kpaige77! sounds like you are doing really great

Hi Imedalsy, had my staples removed in November and can honestly say it did not hurt at all. You can definitely feel them being pulled out but no pain, at least for me
