Weight Loss after surgery
by TrudieC, May 19, 2008 02:52PM
For those of you who have had your cysts and fibroids removed or hysterectomies, have you found that the weight from those issues were large and that you weigh less now? I'm looking for a silver lining here girls! I've put on 8 lbs. since this all started!!!

My cyst was so tiny that it wouldn't impact the weight issue at all.. And truly forgive me..I'm not trying to minimize this, but wondering; if you've become less active since surgery, that may explain some of it. . and what may you be eating that's different?? When I'm "recovering" from anything, I tend to hit the carbs, sugar , etc.. I'd suggest hormones as well, but I don't think you've been on them long enough or are you even on them at all ? Otherwise I can't think of a connection...
For me it's "Do as I say, not as I do".. I was a Weight Watcher counselor for over 10 years and I know what I"m SUPPOSED to do.. I just don't necessarily do it !! Try drinking more fluids since you may not be hungry..just thirsty and concentrate on fruits, veggies and limit the carbs and sugar.. and keep your hands busy-- crosswords, Sudoku, needlework.....Good luck
Take care,
Sandy
Anyway, be sure to let us know about the surgery !!!
Take care,
