    PCOS Pain

    Hi ladies. What helps you with PCOS pain? After my sleeve surgery my symptoms and pain has been less. but now when I have flare ups for lack of a better word. It seems more intense. What have you ladies done that seems to help you. So far I haven't been successful in relieving pain.

    Help! Stomach cramps

    It's slightly carbonated. I didn't think a 3-4 ounces would have that type of affect. Also some people drink carbonated beverages without a problem. I had this same problem when I ate fruit. I am hoping to be able to eat fruit on day. Also this was the very first time I went off track.

    Help! Stomach cramps

    No it wasn't sugar free. I was out with a group and we went to an ice cream shop so I felt that I needed to get something and old habits sometimes die hard. Is there anything I can take when that happens or do I have to wait it out. I was better today although my stomach was a little sensitive.
  4. I have am having stomach cramps. It's directly related to something I ate/drank (ice cream and angry orchard apple cider) how can I relieve this cramping or do I have to wait it out? I have had this one other time when I ate honey dew melon. All I can say is I WONT be doing that again.

    Gain after new food stage

    It's probably not a "true" pound. A lot can contribute. Like did you weight your self with different clothes on? Did you way in the morning vs. at night? Are you going to the bathroom that can cause some increased weight. I think to go up and down just a little is normal. I wouldn't worry. You going great.

    My journey

    When I was on phase 1. I found sugar free Popsicles helped a lot. I missed the chewing. After I ate a Popsicle I felt a lot better.

    Anybody got tattoos??

    This is my tattoo. I got it for my dad when I was a little kid we were always boating. And so I wanted something to represent our great times. He has always been my anchor. He kept me out of trouble and he is my go to person. I would like to get a tattoo that represents my mom but I don't know what I want to do yet. She passed away recently.

    Still in pain

    I was in the same boat. My dr. Prescribed me muscle relaxers and I took that for about a week they worked wonders. I am almost 6 weeks post op. And I was taking OxyContin and Tylenol and Ibuprofen around the clock. Then my suture popped and I feel great no more pain. I can sleep laying all the way down and on my side. In some people it takes a little longer for those stitches to devolve of pop. At the after surgery I could not walk straight up and down. If I sat down my husband had to help me back up. He was actually helping me with everything. Good luck.
  14. Wow at 1 week post op there was no way I could have went to work. I was still taking pain medication on a regular schedule and my husband still had to help me. It will take some time before you feel up to 100%. After 2 weeks I went back to work and I was super sore. So I think that it's common to feel weak and not very good when your returning to normal activity.
  15. Are you constipated? Sometimes it's hard to get anything down when this happens.
