Hi Everyone.

I have been to my gynaecologist today and I've now been diagnosed with PCOS aswell as Endometriosis.

Can I ask how do you manage to lose weight with both of these conditions. I have just joined slimming world and really hoping to lose at least 9st.

Can I please have advise from everyone who has both of these conditions. What foods are best avoided.

I've been told that I will need a lap in a couple of months. I want to lose some of my weight before my lap.

many thanks

Also forgot to mention that im getting married in August and honeymoon in Sept. I'd like to know how I can try and have less pain to enjoy. I've spoken with my gp who told me to take ibuprofen and paracetamol. But due to my asthma I can't take ibuprofen.

Hey, have you tried the gluten free diet? It has worked for me also going diary free. It’s hard at first but there are loads of healthy recipes that are gluten free. I go on Pinterest.

It helps more with bloating and weight loss with exercise. I’m waiting for my lap so I’m trying to lose a couple of stone before it. Xx

Not tried cutting them out yet. Will try that. I've already lost 2 st but have 9st to go to be a healthier weight.

Hope all goes well with your weight loss and your lap.
