Has anyone done Insanity after a hysterectomy

You will not be doing ANY exercise or sexercise for at least 6 weeks after.  I had mine last year and I would do it again in a heartbeat!  Do exactly what your doctor says for faster healing.  I have no vaginal dryness and if I ever do I sex it away with sex, the best thing to ever do for vaginal dryness.  I have not gained any weight with my hyster and no vaginal prolapse - absolutely perfect after.  I had horrendous period pains and bleeding buckets since 13 or so and SO glad it is gone and done with.

Good luck to you, any questions don't hesitate to ask me.  I also subscribed to Hyster Sisters website.

Hope this helps

I am so glad I found this site...much more positive in regards to hysterectomies!

I have always been an avid exerciser. After years of serious hormonal issues and trying every treatment under the sun to regulate my ovaries we have decided to go with a total hysterectomy. My metabolism has always been great until my hormone issue got worse and worse. Everything I read has been so negative...I'm terrified I not only won't be able to lose this weight that I'll gain more!

Your post was SO great to read. My surgery is this coming Friday. Any other positive words you have would be greatly appreciated!:-)

Make sure you do have lots of help in the first 3 - 4 weeks forsure. Have books, DVD's, water, pills and what not's close by so that you don't need to get out of bed too often, the up and down movement is not so pleasant in the first few days. Are you set up with NetFlix, if not it might be time just this month to invest in that, magazines are a good one too if you are into those.

As for total hyster, that is up to you and your doctor to discuss, remember though your HRT after your hyster is so important - the lack of this is often the reason for vaginal dryness. What we do to combat the dryness, like I said before combat it with sex - pre-cum from the man is natural lubricant and helps to restore a ladies as well as baby oil will be your friend during sex, stay away from the Johnson's brand though I found we really like the Shoppers Drug Mart LifeBrand the best for us and my daughter.

I never did gain any weight after but I had my daughter a year prior and had not lost the weight either, I was 35. I did finally start losing weight after 2.5 years after having her and a year after my hyster; so proud of myself. One new thing I started recently though was including a homemade Green juice in my diet instead of salad, the biggest weight loss starter I have ever found. So hopefully you will not gain anymore and will in fact start to lose after, just remember your body to heal does need nourishment and healthy foods promote the best and fastest healing.

Also, don't be scared of your pain meds, take them as directed to stay on top of the pain. Get some Vitamin E cream for your scars, but mine was a Laprascopic and had 4 small/tiny incision sites and didn't use anything on them and they are fine and fading everyday.

Thanks for your kind words and encouragement. I wish you all the luck and don't hesitate to ask ANYTHING at all if you need any help or have any questions.

I had my surgery which was June 4th so I am like 8 or 9 wks post op..It was the best thing I ever chose to do.No more pain or anything. I went to Busch Gardens at 7 wks and even went on all the rides.Nothing has fallen down thank God.I am still worried about that..I see my doctor at 12 wks post op..I will then ask hi about insanity and what I can do.So far zumba has worked wonders :)
