hey everyone,

i am just curious, anyone with PCOS did it resolve, or at least did the flare up calm down. I am down 50lbs from surgery and besides my sugar got better thats about it. But i have heard from a people it got worse for them, so just wondering if anyone else has information about it. Please let it resolve :(.

It depends on the cause of the PCOS, if the root cause was being overweight then it will resolve. I have a friend that is very very thin and has PCOS and hers was caused from Endometriosis. I hope yours resolves because Im telling you I felt so bad for her when she had her flair ups....brought her to her knees.

yes they are not sure what brought mine on 12 years ago. but i am praying it was bc of the weight. bc the flare ups are nasty. my poor husband lol. on our first date i told him to research it before he wanted to be serious.

I have PCOS also and when I lost weight in the past only certain parts of it would lessen up. My periods would return (1 I could live without) and the pain from cysts would lesson but the body hair and headaches still happened. I wish I could've picked and chose which symptoms hung around :-)

I guess this is a reality check that I may not get all I want, but I'm praying that my roots are weight related!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
