Thought I'd drop this forum a note. TLC has a new show starting in Jan. and I recall the girl they are following has PCOS. Looks like it is going to be a good one.

We had our surgery the same day!  I had a teeny tine bit of something like a period almost exactly four weeks out.  1-2 days of flow, enough where I needed a pad or something, but nowhere near what I was used to.  I started BC pills that next day (Nov 10th) and everything went great.  Last week, Sunday the 23rd, I started my period in earnest, and it's been going ever since.  This is my first "true" cycle in almost 7 months (pregnancy, miscarriage, PCOS complications, etc all led to the HUGE gap in my cycle).  

I fully expect my cycles and my hormones to be a little wonky for the next few months just because of the rapid changes going on in my body.  I wouldn't worry too awfully much at this point, but def call your GYNO if you don't see any action in another few weeks.  

I am 3.5 months out and I hear you about the stalls, it can be really hard. I try my best to only weigh myself once a week in order to not become obsessed with the scale.  Thank you for posting, it is nice to have other women with PCOS to talk to about our particular issues.

Here is a chart of what is "average" weight loss for the first year after gastric bypass:

As you can see, how much you lose also depends on where you are starting weight-wise.

Many people experience stalls, I have had 2 so far where I lost nothing for 3 weeks!  It is scary but just keep going.

At one point, for no apparent reason, I actually gained 6 pounds in 2 days for some reason!  I freaked out a little but honestly I have heard similar stories from so many people in the months following surgery that it did not bother me too much.  A week later I had lost the 6 pounds gained plus another 2.

Try not to become obsessed with the scale or comparing yourself to others, just like with any other aspect of ourselves there will always be someone who ahead of us in some way.  Just do your best to follow your plan and if you have concerns contact your centre for guidance.

As for PCOS symptoms, I have noticed a little more extra hair issues and more severe menstrual cramps since I did not take my birth control, spironolactone, and metformin for a month before surgery.  Since I started back up on spiro and the birth control the cramps have been less. I have also had extreme emotional distress at times for no apparent reason, just start crying and cannot stop, usually only lasts a few hours but holy smokes it is awful, feel completely out of my mind with anxiety.  I think it is the hormones being released into the body from the fat when you lose weight. Anyone else get this emotional low every so often since surgery?

Anyone else thinking of getting an IUD? My doctor recommended it but not sure how it works with us ladies with PCOS?  Right now I am taking diane-35 as a birth control.

I never was able to take metformin I had steroid injections. I stalled after VSG for 3 weeks because I had lost so much the 1st month of surgery. Give it time and make sure you are doing what you are suppose to. I noticed if I don't take in the right about of fluid I don't lose and If my protein level is low I don't lose.
