Dear OH pals~

I'm struggling, gained 37 lbs. and my body is hurting, and just not right!
How do I get it back?
How do I kick the fat's butt?
I'm going to call and get into an endocrinologist...PCOS is a metabolic disease and I think its time to ask the doctor for help too!
Thanks for listening!

I don't know the answer but wanted to wish you GOOD LUCK!

 I am in the same boat as you!!!
I had RNY three years ago ( in 2 weeks). I lost 130 lbs and have gained back 47!!!  My PCOS was gone for four months after surgery and it came back... Dr says 99 percent are cured of PCOS and I am the exception.  I think PCOS has a lot to do with gaining back weight  because I dont eat half of the things I did before but I keep gaining...  my doctor thinks I am using it as an excuse and not realizing all that I am eating during the day.  I just got a referral for a nutritionist and blood sugar monitor.  I am interested to see what your endocrinologist has to say,  they all seem to have different takes on PCOS.

Good Luck!

I have PCOS. I know what it's like to go nuts and not get anywhere weight-wise (prior to RNY), and all the other 'lovlies' that come with.
I also know someone who's kicked it's @$$! Basically she does low carb, lean protiens (think Keto diet) and veggies except corn and high glysimic fruits.
She works out 4 times a week for an hour.

I've also heard of metaformin, which can help assist with PCOS. I've never been on it, but I've heard other girls mention it.

I have PCOS.  PCOS, hypothyroid, and diabetes/insulin resistance are all interrelated according to the endocrinologists I've seen.  A lower carb, clean (less processed) diet could definitely help you.  I find whenever I eat more like that my periods return, so it's less of a function I think of what you weigh than how you eat.
