I am getting sleeved October 10th and I have PCOS. I'm really worried this isn't going to work for me because I have struggled so much in the past. I'm happy to see you're having success with it! It gives me hope.

@leslaine, you look great! Thank you for encouraging me to have faith because I definitely want to work hard and get results. How is your eating habits now? Are you still following the program? Protein first, veggies, fruits, and carb?

@teedsg, Thank you! The honeymoon phase ended for me 6 months post-op, and some of my bad habits wanted to creep back in. Be sure to take advantage of those first 6 months where you have the most restriction and rarely get hungry. I've slipped a few times, but still have managed to stay on track by following the program. Stay away from slider foods because you will not feel any restriction when you eat them. I can eat 5 chocolate chip Cookies if I wanted to, but can only eat 1 egg. Just make smart choices every day.

I'm starting to get a lot of compliments/made fun of less and less in public, shopping for clothes is a lot of fun - All of this is giving me the drive to finish this. :)

Awesome! Thanks for the tips. I hope popcorn isn't a slider for me. I miss it so much.
I'm glad you are staying on track

I'm three months post op today and have PCOS. My weightloss so far has exceeded my surgeons expectations. My endocrinologist was really happy with my progress so far too. She just checked my hormone levels and wants to compare them again in three months. So far I've been following the diet plan and just started exercising again a couple of weeks ago. Total lost is 83lbs, 60 since the preop liquid diet. I'm hopeful my hormone levels will be in normal ranges by this time next year so I can go off my two meds that help control them.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
