I don't normally eat like I did yesterday. Yesterday was an exception, junk food wise. My partner's granny went to the ER and we weren't prepared to spend the entire day there. To the person who said eat bigger meals. I cant do that either. I have delayed emptying problems also with my stomach so I have to eat smaller…

Does anyone know a good way to get a large amount of potassium each day? Bananas don't really agree with me. My doc has me on 2 diuretics and it's lowering my potassium. I was on a supplement but without insurance, it's like $35 for 30 pills. They said that the over the counter supplements aren't even close to the amount I…

Brandy, have you ever been to soulcysters.com or .net? They're a great place to start. The .com is informational. The .net are the message boards. There's alot of support, info and suggestions there. I doc I just saw the other day said that two thirds of my diet needs to be fruits and veggies. I'm working on it! A friend…

Sorry I've been away for so long! Any suggestions on how we should start?

I started this thread and haven't been back here in so long. It's so nice to find other women who understand what you're going through. Since I was here last, I got a new doc. He has me on 1700 mg of Metformin, 25 mg of Hydochlorothyazide, 25 mg (?) of Spironolacotine, and Sprintec BC. Plus, as soon as I hear back from…

I know that's what I have to do. The diet part, it's just really hard getting there. My partner is diabetic and you'd think that would help me. But neither one of us keep with it. Thanks for the support! Hopefully it'll help!!

Thanks so much for the encouraging words. I know I can do it. I just need that push to get there.

I used to belong to soulcysters.net along time ago. I should probably get back over there and check it out again. Have you had a hard time losing the weight? I'm on Met but not a very high dosage. I don't have insurance and my family doc won't do anything else for me other than put me on the met.

I see that this post is from quite a while ago. But I'm from Ohio. Centerville. It's near Dayton.

Thanks for the replies! PCOS is hard to cope with. Losing weight is really hard with this disease. I've struggled with it my whole life. I hope to find support and success here!
