I've got PCOS and was wondering if any other ladies out there with the same have tried anti androgens? found some but the best seems to be cyproterone acetate - been reading up on it and I'm gonna ask my doc about it. The dianette contraceptive pill has anti androgens in it but not recommended if you're over 35 and obese. Yvonne x

Yeah - try not to compare yourself to others - everyone's different and loses at different rates Yvonne x

what do the initials stand for? Still dim! Yvonne x

Hi Suzanne, Just wondering what dose of thyroxine you were on and what you upped it by - I've been considering this too. Cheers, Yvonne x

What's an NSV? sorry for being so dim Yvonne x

I think I'm averaging 10lbs a month - hope it keeps up, but we're never satisfied are we? Yvonne x

Congratulations - you'll be right as rain and losing weight in no time. Yvonne x

I can eat any Chinese food just now - no fill. You'll be able to eat - just smaller amounts - have heard others say that rice is a no no though. Yvonne x

Just a wee glitch - we're not saints - I love fish n chips too Tomorrow is another day. Yvonne x

I love my band cos even without a fill I'm nowhere near as hungry as I was before the op. Yvonne x

Chinese food - yummy Yvonne x

Hi Jason, Congratulations on your banding - and what an inspiring weightloss beforehand - well done. Yvonne x

I have lost 42 lbs - I don't have my first fill till 26 April - 5 months after my op - that's the NHS in the UK for you! Yvonne x

Hi Melanie, You could try upping your fluid intake - I find it really helps me lose the weight and stave off hunger pangs. I've been trying to watch my calories lately too and it helps. I try to aim for about 800 per day. You might not be eating enough - try zig-zagging your calorie intake - it's supposed to confuse the body and keep the weight loss going. Try googling - weight loss plateau - it'll bring up more info for you. Hope this helps, Yvonne x

you look brilliant - well done Yvonne x
