I was diagnosed with PCOS yesterday  Why am I happy? I been wanting to know why i was overweight and can't have kids and had facial hair like a man!  So the doc put me on Xenical www.xenical.com/ and hopefully that will help me lose weight. I started out at 230LBS and i have marked it on my calender. Whats best is i HAVE to eat fatty foods for it to work! LOL  I know this board isn't for PCOS but i just HAD to share!!!  |

Well I am glad that you have some answers, sim! Hopefully the treatment will work!
Any luck getting to the doctor for your other meds?

Thats WONDERFUL, Sim! I mean, its wonderful that you have a diagnosis & can treat it.
I was reading that website you gave the link to & you do need to eat a balanced diet. It says:
The recommended dose is one 120-mg capsule by mouth with liquid at each main meal that contains fat. You should take XENICAL up to three times a day in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet. Each time you take XENICAL, your nutritionally balanced meal should contain no more than about 30% of calories from fat. You should evenly divide your daily intake of fat, carbohydrates and protein over three main meals. Take XENICAL during meals or up to 1 hour after a meal. If you occasionally miss a meal or have a meal without fat, you can omit your dose of XENICAL.
You should try to follow a healthy eating plan, such as the one developed by the American Heart Association.
It says you need to take a multi vitamin too. At least 2 hours before or after the Xenical.
I'm moving this thread to the diet & nutrition board & you can keep us up to date on your progress if you'd like!
