I cant believe this!
Ive been back on metformin for over a couple of months now. Everything had been working perfectly and Ive had very succesful weightloss along with eating very healthy, excersise ect.

Well a few days ago, I stopped doing # 2's (TMI i know) but im seriously extremely constipated and bloated.....this is causing me to gain weight back rather quickly and as a result im getting really depressed. I shouldnt be going backwards. The fact that Ive been loosing weight had been making me a very happy person lately.

Yesterday and today ive taken Correctol. I cant keep taking this because it causes my tummy to cramp ALOT. I ve been drinking more water, I already eat a ton of veggies and fruit daily. I dont know what else to do. Also since the constipation started Ive broken out on my face in zits, painful ones at that, also ive been very groggy and tired feeling.

Ive been on YAZ for the past couple of weeks now. Could this have anything to do with it? and I thought BCP's were supposed help with the acne and excess hair issue..... is my pcos getting worse? should I up my dose from 1500mg to 2000mg??
I dont know what else to do, but I almost want to starve myself just so I can stop seeing the scale go up, this is awful, I cant go backwards, I just cant

Most of the people on here are under the impression that everone get diarehia(sp?). Well I am in the same boat as you are honey. I eneded up getting a laprascopic look around in my tummy and they found loads of scar tissue from a previous hysterectomy. They snipped them and I have been having better luck with the BMing. It no wonder it was so painful and I was constipated, the scar tissue had my colon in 3 places and was just pulling the heck out of it.

I got it done a week ago and I am still healing but having better luck.

I have been eating the heck out of fruit and vegies all day, just like I did before the surgery. I can honestly tell you that today I have had 2 apples, 2 peaches, 1 large salad, 15 small carrots, 4 tomatos, and 5 bites of a bbq beef sandwich today. That is all I ate for the entire day. It seems extreme, but it works for me and I have had a drastic change in my body shape, not to mention I am down 40 since Nov 2008. Oatmeal is helpful as well, just a word of advice, dont go for the quick oats, make the 5 min type. It just works better.

Keep trying and you will find the one thing that works for you. When it gets bad, and I have not been eating all of the fruits and vegies, I get 2 large tomatos, and add some italian dressing and salt the heck out of them. In the bathroom within 30 min.

Good luck, I will send the poo poo gods your way
