So, I had my surgery done January 17th, 2018.. Before the surgery I was weighing around 165 pounds, which fluctuated from time to time to 170 pounds during my cycle.  Today when I stepped on the scale, I weigh a whopping 185 pounds!!! I decided to do some research to see if any other women have had the same weight gain issue.  I will turn 44 in a month, and I know menopause, my eating habits and lifestyle play a big role in my issue.    

I don't regret having the surgery, because it has stopped my cycles which were horrible and miserable.  Today, the change starts by exercising more, eating better, cutting back on the alcohol and being more social!!
