weight gain after total hysterectomy

Hey Guys, dont give up! you can do it.........

Simple steps; one step at a time......

Take care.....

i am 44 and had a total hysterectomy , overies removed and 10 inches of my bowel due to severe endometriosis . A year later im feeling great to be pain free but , so tired i feel ill . My breast pain is bad too . I take 2mg hrt and it does help a little . To read all your lovely ladies post had made me realise its common to feel like this !!! Well i have joined a gym and swim twice a week and although its a real struggle , sounds pathetic i know , it does help me . So i would advise anyone to exercise as it has helped me and also its mind over matter , you feel better and my weight is now returning to normal .

I was 24 when I got mine ( now 26) and just recently gained 50 lbs in 5 months.. I understand the feeling. Im a mom of 1 a very energetic 3 year old boy.. I have those days where all i have is headaches and feel like c**p.. I wish I could tell you it gets better.. but it hasnt for me yet ! I have never been big.. never gotten over 110 in my heaviest except pregnancy .. all my weight is in my belly too.. and Im losing significant muscle mass in my legs and developing lots of cellulite as my muscle turns to fat ... its quite depressing..

Hey no one is being insulting to anyone else so your first comment right out the gate to the person who posted about their size going from a 2 to a 6 is wrong, rude and very impolite. What you do not seem to understand is someone is used to being a size 2 and circumstances causes weight gain 5lbs can feel like 50. She has the right to post her feelings without ignorance being spewed. Just like you have the same right to not be made fun of with your problems being posted here.

To maintain your weight try drinking celery seed juice. Make a jar a week and drink a class everyday. It will help with the menapausal symptions you must be experience. I am in the same boat.

I had a hysterectomy on June 7th 2010.. I've gained so much weight.. Very depressed, hot flashes, cold spells, sadness, quick tempered. Hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllp.. It's nice to know I am not alone.. However, I still feel like c**p... :( God help us all in Jesus name...

I'm right there with you. Right before my hysterectomy, I worked with a trainer, took off 38 lbs and went from a size 10 to a size 0. Now, here I am 2 1/2 years later and half of the weight has returned and I'm back up to a size 4. It doesn't seem to matter how much I work out or how well I eat, the most I have been able to lose is 2-3 lbs., and then it comes right back. SO frustrating!

my name is Alicia i had a complete hysterectomy 15 years ago. i still feel like c**p i can't say for everyone cause everyone is different. of course sex drive well there is not one for me, maybe once or twice a month sometimes any way i smoked cig. for years had really bad hot flashes couldn't sleep cause of night sweats and hot flashes so i decided to quit smoking cause by that time i noticed that the hot flashes got worse when i smoked so i quit smoking feel a whole lot better. less hot flashes and night sweats. but still could not help my weight i walk 3 miles a day still no help i went from 146 lbs. at age 25 to 205 lbs. at age 40 big weight gain still no energy. Started  haveing hair loss also. but like i said everyone is different. so good luck with yourself hope eveyrthing turns around for you

Reading some of the comments here makes me glad that I am not alone.  I felt that it was just something going on with me.  I am part of Hystersisters sight as well but decided to search issues on web. 

I had hysterectomy (laparoscopy, kept ovaries) 2/21/13.  While things went well, physically I am a hot mess.  No real energy or motivation to workout - I want to and think about it everyday but can't quite execute.  Easy for me to get tired or go to sleep once I get home.  I've gained about 20-something pounds since surgery and I am miserable because I don't want to look this way.

Another thing I get is if I have gas, it irritates my lower abdomen as it passed through intestines.  I think that's where they sewed me up inside and its tender.  I have an appointment with my doctor coming up and hopefully she can give me some input on how to deal with these issues.

I had a hysterectormy on Valentine day 2013, I had gained appr 5lbs and felt a little uncomfortable, I tried celery seed juice and it did help. I workout every morning that helps with sadness. Go for a walk two times a day. Fresh air works wonders too.

Thank you I will try that.

Try having your thyroid checked. That helped me. As to hot flashes, stay on course, go to the gym every second day at least. That worked for me. Do not give up, try different things. Try the above.

If the gym and the throid is good, try celery seed juice.  Make a batch drink one 8 to 12 ozes of the juice every day.

 

 

 

OMG! I am 54 and felt 94 some days.  Mostly I lived on coffee and a liquid b vitamin complex seemed to help. Then I made a change:

Nutrition is the key I found.  If I eat all organic food, I feel much better; with a full diet of fruits, veggies, protein.  I eat 3 meals a day. Excersise helps to increase engergy as well, even if you just walk a few times a day. I am not gaining weight, I have had a slight decrease in pounds.

 

what is this celery seed juice? I have put on 2 stone in 2 years and totally miserable after my full hysterectomy. wish I had never had it done. Not only have i put on weight, i bleed after what is quite uncomfortable sex.

I am miserable and soooo depressed.  I have gained approxamently 50lbs.  I am on bioidentical hormone replacement.  I have been prescribed every diet pill available. No help at all.  I stay so tire and stay in my bedroom all day.  I had a total hysterectomy in 2011.
