weight gain after hysterectomy
after my hysterectomy at 45yrs old I am gaining weight fast...never had mood swings or sweats...taking no harmones..does anything help?Trying all over the counter pills and etc. nothing working...HELP!!
Hi All
I'm having the same problems. I'm 38 I had a complete hyst in 2011 gained 50 pounds since then. I was diagnosed with hormonal breast cancer in 2010.
I had my hyst BC the doctors found my ovaries thickening so for precaution reasons due to have breast cancer they took everything. I now have been diagnosed with RA, my heart is too high so I'm on beta blockers & I have high blood pressure. O & my thyroid is normal. I am going to make an appt. with my endocrine doc again. I haven't seen her since my hysto. I am desperate, over this crap! I don't eat much at all if I do it's healthy. I won't even date BC of my weight I'm so embarrassed. I've always been skinny until I had my son. I gained weight with him but started to loose it until I had my hysto. No matter what I do I gain weight. Two months ago I did loose 10 pds but that's it. I don't even know what I did to loose it i wish I knew.......

becareful....hormone replacement WILL give You Breast Cancer!! I had it from Birth control Pill and friend from ht! Going through same!! Sorry!!
Did u ever find out the name of the hormone 'L' that we all are missing? And has the medical community come out with something to replace it to take and help with weight loss and/or not continuing to gain weight? I had a full hysterectomy 10 yrs ago & have continued to gain weight over the last 5 yrs. it has recently become out of control. I'm hoping u can help....
I also have had a hysterectomy and have gained over 40 pounds. I've always been a thin woman who felt good about myself and my body. The weight gain has made me feel very unsure of myself and I have a negative view of my body. I don't even like to be naked in front of my spouse, who has been very supportive and doesn't seem to look at me any differently. Unfortunately, it is about how I feel about myself. I've been searching the internet frantically looking for something to help lose this weight, but have yet to come up with a solution. Exercising has to be limited for me due to back, neck, and hip issues. What do I do?
I had my full hysterectomy in 2005, everything gone but ovaries. I had a rare case of endometriosis and it was necessary to have the surgery. I could not move, felt like my spine wanted to crack in half. After the surgery, I felt better than I have in years. NO MORE PAIN. As the years passed, I noticed that my clothes was starting to feel a little snug. People started asking if I could possibly be pregnant. No way, it would be a miracle I told them. 2008 I weighed 135. I have always been around 110-120. As the years pressed on, I kept gaining more and more. I have been in Zumba, went walking, did workouts at home, went on diets and still nothing. I started out with no breast to very noticable, no thighs to going up a few size pants to fit and back and stomach fat. No exercise or anything works. Today I now weigh 168.
Also, a couple of years ago, I had to have surgery to remove a large mass from my breast. They noted there was scaring. Does anyone know if endo can spread all throughout your body?
It is depressing when a person such as ourselves have done possibly all we could to lose the weight. If anyone have a solution, please advise.

I am in tears.... I can't believe how much of us that is out there.. Help!
I also had a total hysterectomy at 32. I am now 43, and it hurts to feel like no matter what I do to lose the weight, I gained weight. I heard just exercise, watch what you eat, cut calories, blah, blah, blah, and I did it all. I really do not like myself and who do I talk to?
You all seem more of like a family than what I have, due to the same like experience. Literally as I type I cry, I am scared to eat and scared not to eat. I really want to lose weight and I am not sure of to how to fully accomplish this. I don't want to starve myself by going on all these fab diets. I want to know how do I healthily get it off and keep it off.
People who have not had the surgery think it is easy, they really don't understand, Something is missing, not only is there missing parts in my body that was there when I was born, now there is missing parts in my existence. My emotions are heavy, before I found your comments I felt alone.
Smiling On the Outside, Crying In the Inside. I really need help, really I do!
