Does anyone else have poly cystic ovarian syndrome? And if so how has your progress been?? I've been dealing with it since I was 15 and coincidentally enough have been gaining about 15 lbs per year since then! Not scheduled for surgery yet, still going thru counseling

Had a severe pain yesterday after taking the chewable vitamins. Pain stopped while I was heading to the emergency room. Dumping maybe ? I was so scare that I did not take the Vitamins today. I'm hungry with the liquid diet. But I feel safe on it though. I've lost about 10 pounds this week if not more. Still on pain medication. Te pain is getting better, but slowly to my taste. Walking around helped with the gas pain. But I have no regrets, thing are only going to get better!!! Yeah!

I've had pcos for about 3 years now and coincidentally it started after I got off the depo shot. Only thing that helps is a bc pill called cryselle. I don't ovulate and everything is out if wack. Hoping it goes away after surgery

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
