Rapid Weight gain/menapause?

by cherfull, Nov 11, 2009 11:25PM
I had a complete hysterectomy 14 years ago, thought I was forced into menopause then.  This past year I have gained 15 lbs.  I am active, walk an hour every day.(brisk walking) still gaining weight.  I eat very healthy, my eating habbits have not changed, yet I am gaining weight.
Went to the doctor, had all kinds of blood work. Thyroid appears to be good.  He cannot figure out why I am gaining weight except that I am perimenopause.  I can't figure this out!!!
I have no hot flashes at all, no symptoms at all, except feeling very down, and that is because I cannot loose this weight I have gained no matter what.
I even joined herbal magic............they could not help me..after spending all that money!!!!

The doctor has nothing to say, except wanting to put me on an anti depressant, which I don't need.  

Can anyone else relate?  Or advice?
