Same thing happened to me after my hyster.  It took me about 4 years to get it back under control.  

How long ago was your hyster?  Taking any hormone replacements?  Are you hormone levels being monitored closely?

its common to gain weight after a hysterectomy, also its very common to develop thyroid problems , has happened to me and many of my posters please go to your dr and ask for a FULL thyroid panel blood test, you will need to be on a 12 hr fast nothing except water.

hypothyroidisms main symptoms are depression, lack of sex drive, weight gain, dry skin, constipation, hair loss.
