I have PCOS. Was diagnosed when I was 16. Have been one form of birth control or another since then. Right now I have the Mirena.
Since I had the mirena I have had normal periods. About 35 days, with only a weird cycle (for like 3 months) when I thought I was pregnant (turned out it was a chemical pregnancy).
I got taken off of metformin which was mainly for my diabetes. I was on 1000 mg twice a day.
I grow dark facial hair, and have to shave like every other day.
Does the facial hair go away or get less as you lose weight?

This was a big relief to read. I am just over 3 weeks, and getting between 700 to 900 cals a day.
Even adding up my minimal diet it is 710, and I hear some people even saying to do 500 a day.
I could see 500 pre op liquid diet, but not now.
Egg with cheese, Protein shakes with skim milk, and a yogurt a day. On occasion I eat a baby food thing of prunes to help with the Constipation.
this forum is so helpful.

I'm sorry...but no. My doctor explained that once the hair has started to grow in the unusual places it continues to grow. To permanently remove the hair, you would need electrolysis (which is hella expensive). My Hair growth has slowed down somewhat but still comes back every two weeks after waxing. I'm only 30 pounds from goal weight and my blood work is perfect. I've "cured" my PCOS but still have the hair as a reminder.

I cant see the video... but It sounds like you are following your doctors plan very closely! You are doing great with the fluids and protein! It sounds like you are right on track.
When you start purees that hunger will be satisfied so much easier!

Ok I did so more research, I found this video.
It was very helpful and reassuring.
I will put it here incase anyone else wants to watch it, or is having the same question I am.

I started off at a pants size of 50/52 and now wear a size 40/42.
My shirt size went from 3XL to XL.
I can buy clothes at any clothing store now and now can wear pants with a designer label over one back pocket if I choose (I don't, designer labels aren't important to me) instead of labels that say "Pass" and "Don't Pass" over the back pockets. .

I have surgery Weds too.
I have Gas x strips. I was told with all the air they pump in you will need it.
Among with everything else people said.
