Hi I'm 43 and 3months post abdominal hysterectomy and desperate to loose 20 lbs and my swelly belly ! Anyone else going/ gone thru the same thing? Any tips ? I used to attend the gym 4 times a week but haven't been there for 6 months due to illness - I'm back to walking 3 times a week and swimming twice a week but I seem to be getting bigger ! Ps also started on hrt 4 weeks ago ....

    I had laporscopic hysterectomy 3 weeks ago. Have you been on http://www.hystersisters.com/? its a great tool. From what I have read, it sounds like you might be doing too much if your belly is getting bigger. Your body might be telling you to slow down.

    We had major surgery it takes time for the body to heal. Even thought we feel good our insides need to heal. Yes, it's frustrating. I was very active before surgery. Now walking for 30 mins makes my legs tired. <frustrating>

    I know resting is not what you want to hear but it might help that swollen belly. For the weight loss, How is your nutrition? are you eating clean (no processed food)? Drinking enough water?

    Hi! You can add me as a friend if you like. Nailing your nutrition will help while you are recovering.
