I am hoping if I ever get Pg again I may avoid diabetes but then ill alway have PCOS no matter what I weigh. Fortunately I'm a midwife so I wasn't too daunted having an emergency section , more freaked out by my colleagues seeing my bits! Like that nightmare where you go to school in just your pants! So far I've found things ok, recovery has been unremarkable - no major pain or problems, on liquids for 4 weeks and I'm week 2, I have a small wine glass of yoghurt smoothie (banana for potassium) made liquidy with milk for brekkie, half a can of liquidy soup for lunch and dinner - it's about 450-550 kcals a day at present. Some things go down easy others I really can't tolerate - like spicy soup just gives me pain every mouthful, so it's a bit trial and error - so far I'm sticking to what I know is ok. I lost 14lbs pre op, 10lbs in week one post op and am hoping for 4-6lbs this week to take me up to 2 stone loss! Ill let you know. It is scary taking the plunge but really think its going to be worth it. X
