Anyone have experience being on a medical weight loss program?
I was recently diagnosed with PCOS, and my Obstetrician referred me to the clinic's bariatric center so that I could start a medical weight loss program. My first appointment is in two weeks, and I'm really curious as to what it might entail. Is anyone on (or have been on) a medically assisted weight loss program? What was…

Medical weight loss: what were your experiences?
I'm 27 years old, 245 lbs, and 5'3". A few weeks ago I was diagnosed with PCOS by my Obstetrician, and she gave me a referral to a weight loss specialist, because she said that losing weight should help regulate my cycle, and that I need to get down under 200 lbs before looking at my options for trying to get pregnant.…

Anyone have experience working with a weight loss specialist?
About a week ago my Obstetrician diagnosed me with PCOS, and told me I'd have to lose 50 lbs before even starting to think about having kids. (I'm 27, 5'4", and at the time was 250 lbs). Since then, I've started eating healthier and picked up a very physical second job. In that week I've lost about 4 lbs. I was eating 1300…

I had taken a sip of warm water and for some reason it triggered my gag reflex. I feel fine, so I…

PCOS, weight loss, and trying to conceive.
I'm 27 years old and 250 lbs, and was diagnosed the other day with PCOS. My doctor told me that I'd have to lose 50 lbs before even looking at trying to get pregnant, so weight loss is my primary goal. My doctor referred me to a weight loss consultant, but I want to get started now instead of waiting until my first…

It's grilling season!!
I'm going to a drive-in movie theater this weekend with some friends, and I love bringing my mini grill with and making dinner as we watch the movies. Typically I make hot dogs, and then bring some deli salads and chips with... but I want to try for something a bit more nutritious. The big hang up is that since I'll be…

Veggies kill my stomach.
I've been trying to add more vegetables to my diet, because I tend not to eat enough of them. However, when I eat more than like a half cup of veggies at a time my stomach cramps up really bad. This applies to both cooked and raw veggies. It's a bummer, because there are certain veggies I do really enjoy, and things like…
