I have read that the weight comes off slower if you have PCOS. I have also been told by the nurse at my dr office that people have the surgery just to cure the PCOS!

Hi there not sure if this is normal or not but I have pcos and surgery was on the 7th. On the 8th (yesterday) the dr took me off metformin based on my bloodwork. I was shocked

That's awesome I have my surgery on Monday and can not wait! How did u do on the liquid diet? I'm struggling horribly

Im off metformin as well and doing great without it. I struggled on the liquid diet. I had to drink 5 shakes a day, but some days i still felt hungry. I did cheat a couple times and ate a slice of cheese and a piece of grilled chicked once. I told my surgeon about it before surgery and ge said I was still ok for surgery. I guess I had some good cheats :-)

I am 13 days post op and I am already noticing a decrease in my huritism. My skins is clearer. I believe my insulin resistance is under control.

Yay! That's great. You give me hope [emoji1373]

I'm the sole provider of food for my kids and I end up picking at their food every night

That is hard. I was fortunate that my mother in lae lives with me and does most of the cooking. I stayed out of the kitchen as much as possible, but my husband eat junk food in front of me all the time. Thats a steuggle, but the fear of dumping keeps me on track.

Do they do blood work before the surgery?

Do they do blood work before the surgery?

Yes! Typically a week or two before surgery

Oh I know that I meant like the day of the surgery

Oh I know that I meant like the day of the surgery

They did blood work on me 2 of the 3 days I was in the hospital.

Ok

I guess I'm just worried my doc won't do my surgery

Its tough, but you can do it. You made it this far.

I was on the liquid diet for a week before the 7th
