Good luck to all.smiles
  20. Ok I have a question for anyone. I am pre-op and have been trying to drink more water/sf kool-aid how do you get 64 ozs in a day I have truble getting 32 ozs in me a day I have a 26 oz water bottle and start out with it full and just can't seam ton drink that much and to think that after surgery ill not be drinking for 1and 1/2 hours 3 times a day how do you do it lol.
  21. My paperwork just got submited last week so crossing fingers for a fast aproval and surgery on jan 13th want to start pre-op diet jan 3rd right after our christmas trip with the children to the wisconsin dells.
  22. I also have PCOS and am having the band hopfully in jan 2011 I was also told that just the fact of loosing weight can help you get preagnant. My question is for those that have been banded how has the weight loss been going with PCOS? I know it can be more dificult to loose weight with it but was woundering if any others have had dificulty? I am hoping to be able to get preagnant after I loose the weight also heres crossing fingers for all of us. I also am type 2 diabetec and take metformin for my PCOS and my OB told me that after my surgery I don't have to keep taking my metformin since its ER and big pills so a posible issue swallowing them she said after if still haveing problems with irregular periods and facial hair there is a diff med for that we can talk about putting me on.
  23. I have PCOS and am hoping to have lap band in jan and my surgion said 12 months after surgery to be on birth control so you can loss the weight and get the diet down pat.
  24. I also have the calorie counter app love it you can add your excersize and it calculates your calories burned verses calories intake. Love it love it.
