Hello all,
I was diagnosed three weeks ago with PCOS. Up until then I had never even heard of PCOS. I guess right now I am just feeling very overwhelmed. I must say I am very confused about which diet is best. There seems to be loads of information out there but a lot of it contradictory. My doctor put me on an appetite suppressant and low starch diet. I go back next week for a check up and to see how the weight loss is going. So far I have lost 10 pounds and I have at least 20 to go. That may not sound like much but I have not lost in over a week and now I fear the hard part is coming. I feel very frustrated over the fact hat "food" is constantly on my mind. I don't mean in a "I want to eat!" way, I mean in a "what can I eat?" way. I'm so afraid of throwing my hormone and insulin levels off balance now that I know that has been the cause of so much frustration and pain in the past.

Long story short, I am relieved to find out WHAT is wrong but I need some support from people who actually understand how this feels. I think the fact that I have PCOS and the whole lifestyle change is really starting to hit me and I can feel myself slipping into a depression over it. Any support would be greatly appreciated. I feel really sad at the moment. I have a wonderful boyfriend that I love dearly. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me but I am struggling with the fact that I may be taking children out of his future and robbing him in a way. He has been very supportive through all of this, especially the time I was not getting answers and knew something was wrong. He tries to understand but of course he can't really. i just need to get in touch with people who "get it" all of it.
Many thanks in advance. You all seem very supportive to one-another and that's why I chose this site to write.
