Stumbled on this site looking for a post-hysterectomy diet and
info...what is PCOS???
I was 129 lbs all thru High School and until I had a hysterectomy and
removal of ovaries 5 years ago at age 49...6 mos after the surgery, I
weighed in at 146, and I'm now 150+. How do I stop this??? I'm going to
POP!
