Re: NURSING WITH PCOS, IS IT SAFE?

Hi Nicole,

Gastric bypass is only as a last resort - it really can be dangerous, and should only be used if nothing else has worked.

You need to focus on a lower carb diet that elimiates all sugary and highly processed carbs. That includes soft drink, fruit juice, sugar, white bread, cakes, candy, potato, corn, biscuits, sugar in any form, etc. Try to avoid highly processed foods. Also stick to healthy fats - ie. nothing saturated. Fish and chicken (no skin) and lean red meat is fine. Eat plenty of veges, particularly green leafy types, some fruits, and high fibre whole grain carbs, in moderation.

Hope this helps.
