HI I've just had this surgery done 12 days ago and thankfully i didn't google anything till after i had it done or i may of ran lol. but i just wanted to share that i have lost 6.6 kilo's since i had my surgery. i too haven't got much of an appetite but i do drink heaps of water and only eat when hungry.
I am having a vaginal (hopefully) hysterectomy in a couple of weeks because of multiple fibroids, an enlarged uterus (said it feels/looks like I am 16 weeks pg), severe anemia and apparently a prolapsed uterus. I had no idea about my uterus being prolapsed until the surgeon was doing the preop exam. He says there is only about an inch to go through my vagina to get to my uterus. He told me it is all the fibroids pressing down and making it heavy along with the stress of a vaginal twin delivery 14 years ago. I hope your surgery goes well and you get some relief!
Im one week post op. Best of luck.

I had severe uterine prolapse (where the uterus litterly hangs out of the body) making going to the bathroom very difficult. My operation was very successful and am recovering really well, didn't have to stay overnight in the hospital. The doctor has given me limitations for 6 weeks, I was courious of how much my organs weighed also. I haven't weighed myself yet but that might be next step. Good luck to those just getting surgery, I do have 4 small incisions that are healing, but my pain is now very minimal, as long as I don't overdo.
I recently had a hysterectomy leaving 1 ovary for hormones...I have lost weight due to cyst removed and fibroids removed...about 15 lbs so far and feel good:) My appetite decreased init but have my appetite back and cannot drive for awhile so as I am not driving to go to fast food places near me and my sister takes me shopping I have gotten healthy foods like chicken, green beans, salad, green tea etc. Feeling better now though thank the Lord.
