First of all, let me say that I pleased to make your acquaintance as a fellow PCOSer that has been sleeved. I can't seem to find a forum or group just for us. Yes, it difficult going through cravings and being judged at work. In the beginning before my surgery, if I had anything that wasn't super diet friendly food, there was no end of comments because I am overweight and "what a shame, she has such a beautiful face". People didn't realize that I could eat extremely well, go to the gym and follow all other doctor's orders and still gain. Sometimes, I gave up and ate the darn chocolate anyway! I had to learn to ignore those people. I was worried about getting this procedure done. Everything else I have done with PCOS has failed. What if all I do is cause my self pain and discomfort and I don't lose anything but water weight. I went through with it anyways, and seeing your success so far gives me hope for my own future and tells me that I made the right choice. Now about that chocolate. Get a really dark chocolate and put it in your purse. A little nibble gets your ceratonin going and is actually really good for you. You won't feel like eating more than a bite. Dark chocolate has numerous health benefits. Print of a read up about it from the net and "accientally" leave the paper lying around at work. Now your co-workers are informed and it is no longer your problem.
