  11. The onlything I would do is take adult chewable vitamins they have more of what we need
  12. Great so excited to just be heathy a little uncomfortable when I wake up but take my vits and then protein first thing and i feel grear .
  13. I would go to ur gyno and talk to them about everything and explain ur worries and concern . I have had pcos since I was 12 and at 26 found out I have endometriosis, and have 1 ovary ... I am blessed to have a noah who will be two friday. However I was 220 at the start of my preg. And although beautiful it was horrible. My legs looked like I had elephantiasis, was gestational diabetes, back hurt just big! I was really trying to lose weight before I got preg. So I was put on metforman ( usually people who are diabetic take this) they have found that it helps women w/pcos lose weight, that being said it apparently helps w/fertility. The cyst like to feed off our hormones and when we r not on bc we r more likely to have them. I always had the hard dermoid kind. I even got one while I was preg. And had to have it removed during my c section. That was it I knew this weight thing really had to happen..at first docs thought it was tyroid after8 months found out iactually don't have atyroid problem. Any way I geuss I just wanted to share with u to let u know ur not alone I am here to to help support u. I was taking yaz before but I am going to go back to the doc after my post appt here have a check up if u find a good one let me know same as I I wish u the blessed ooh I was just sleeved on may 30
  14. Praise god thank u jesus!!!!! I am in agreement!!! I ask god to guid the surgeons hands to havE a safe, quick, blessed surgery..!!! Woot woot sooooooo excited door ur journey. I was just sleeved may 30,2012
  15. I can't believe they did not tell u this before the surgery.I had to sign a release weeks before surgery saying I would use two forms and not get prego until 18 to 24 months. I am using birth control and condoms. It will be who with it in the end but when u loose weight u can become more fertile that's why.
  16. I was told only 5 grams of sugar in regular items but if its dairy no more then 12 grams I found non fat yoplay (sp) honey greek yogurt with only 10 grams of sugar and they taste pretty good
  17. This is beautiful I couldn't agree more it brought a tear to my eye

Congrats on this new journey.. God bless Serene
