Can ovarian cysts cause my stomach to bloat and pooch out?!
Question: I started working out a little over two weeks ago. My stomach feels flat when I am done working out, but as soon as I eat something it bloats back up. I do have a lot of excess fat on my stomach and since having my appendectomy in 2004 the fat has dropped (due to the incision going down the center of my stomach). Anyway, I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) 10 years or so ago. I was also diagnosed with a 4" fibroid on my uterus about six months ago. The doctor said it didn't need to be removed, so I left it at that. But what is my stomach always so bloated? The only time it isn't bloated is if I don't eat any food at all.
I was diagnosed with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) about 8 years or so ago, but really don't have any symptoms from that except stomach cramping, bloating and gas (especially in the morning).
Will I still be able to lose weight and tone my stomach up even though I have the cysts and fibroid, or will my stomach forever stick out?

You will be able to hun its just harder for women with pcos i managed though. Just keep working out. Oh and green tea helps with the bloating.
