i am a little over a year out from surgery and until 5 months ago my periods were more regular than they have ever been. suddenly they are erratic again. i have gone as much as 7 weeks between periods. when i do have them they are heavier than usual and more painful. before surgery, i was on metformin ( was put on it originally for the pcos and then later stayed on it for type 2 diabetes). i know the weird periods are not from hormone fluctuation from rapid weight loss as about the same time the periods messed up my weight loss slowed down drastically. is it possible that i will have to go back on some type of meds for the pcos to fix this? i cant take bc due to my family history.

Did you put carbs back into your diet?

high amounts of carbs can mess with your glucose and hormone levels... which can mess up your period...

I would say it is probably the diet in which you are on. Surgery will help with rapid weight loss, however, it doesn't heal the body in regards to what you are putting in it. The body can heal itself, given the right foods are entering it.

So, if you are still partaking in a lot of the processed foods you are receiving empty calories and thus leaving your food without any nutritional value. This could easily result in PCOS symptoms once again.
