Post Hysterectomy Weight Lose

No hysterectomy, but I did have an abdominal myomectomy last August.

Glad I found this post. I'm having a hysto, my right ovary and fallopian tubes removed, along with edometrial tissue on m bowels in May.

I had one 2 months ago, laproscopic, removed uterus and tubes only due to fibroids.I'd lost weight before, and have dropped probably another 8# since. I feel amazing. So much more energy and my workouts are way better. I never realized how bad all of 'that' was making me feel. Feel free to pm or add me if you like!!

I had it done in 2013 and I lost about 2-3 lbs during the 4 week recovery. Since I couldn't work out, I was all about strict calorie counting. I have lost about 10 more since then and maintain. I am currently 44.

Had it done Wednesday morning, up walking Thursday morning and home Friday morning. It started off as laparoscopic and ended up being an open abdomen. So I have a smiley face, the 2 holes on the side from what started off laparoscopic then my bikini cut.

Well that is interesting!

I've lost weight in the past 2-3 years and I noticed a bump in my belly. I have been diagnose with a 12cm (about 5") uterin fibroid and I'm currently waiting for an appointment with a gynecologist. My appointment will be in May.

Right now, I don't know what to expect... but reading "I never realized how bad all of "that" was making me feel" is very encouraging because, yes the thing is bothersome, I feel it, I have a big bump, sometimes cramps but it's actually not THAT BAD, I'm still working out, losing weight, I feel fine. So, if I feel even better after, well, I will be a machine !

Anyway, thanks to you whom have shared already and I would appreciate anyone else who would like to share their experiences, what I can expect ? How long was the convalescence ?

I had fibroids for years... thought for the longest time it was just how things were supposed to be, until the last year or two when it got really bad I worked out the entire time, even trained for and ran a marathon but it was really hard for me to lose weight, I was constantly run down and getting injured and the last few months before surgery I looked pregnant (like how I did when I was 4 mos or so). Turns out I was very anemic.

I had my surgery on a Friday, went home the next day. I was up and walking the next day, and was rold to walk frequently. My Dr cleared me to use a stationary bike after a couple weeks, so I would use that daily. I got cleared for all exercise, lifting etc at my one month checkup.

I've now been back to better than normal for the last few weeks. People ask how I feel and truly, it's better than I have in years! I'm 44 and feel at least 10 years younger! I truly think the fibroids, pain, anemia and just mental stress over it was keeping me really run down. I also have a flat stomach again (one of my coworkers asked if I also got a tummy tuck ). I was definitely apprehensive to have the surgery, but I'm so.glad I did!!

Thanks for sharing @jrbenji I was worried that I would need HRT, but so far I'm ok, other than the occasional hot flash. I'm so thankful for all of you sharing on here!! Feel free to add me and let's support each other. I'm getting serious with tracking, in the past I track for most of the day until dinner, then I let lose. Ugh!

My friend "D" (Denial) tried to tell me I would be fine without the Hormones but the hot flashes were miserable! It's good to hear they are manageable for you! Aside from that nonsense and the healing process, a hysterectomy was the best thing I've done besides have children!

I am 39 years old and had a hysterectomy in May 2015 after struggling with endometriosis and uterine fibroids.
I'm glad this discussion has popped up. I would like to lose 20 pounds.

I am 39 and had everything but the ovaries taken out in June 2015. I lost 5 pounds right after the surgery, but it came back within a month. Due to the potential danger of prolapse, I have gained 10 pounds in the last nine months but I can't really blame it on the surgery. I tend to eat much better when I am working out, and I wasn't able to do my normal routine for a long time. I am working out again, and paying attention to my eating again so I am back on track. No HRT for me, though, since I kept my ovaries. My hysterectomy was totally worth it, my life is so much better now!

I'm 44, had mine 2 years ago (kept ovaries and cervix). I put on most of my weight in the run-up to it and didn't decide to start to lose it again until last summer. 35lbs went through calorie counting and walking only.

I'm scheduled for hysterectomy on May 9. Laparoscopic and robot assisted, vaginal removal - my GYN said it will be an outpatient procedure and I'll go home same day. I'm 38 and struggle with intense pain in my back (like, I take Dilaudid to get through) during the week before and most of my period every cycle - which I'm having every 10-22 days now. I'm at goal weight currently, and will be keeping my ovaries so I doubt I'll go on HRT but we'll see. Pre-op is on April 26 and will find out more then.

Im 41 and had an abdominal hysterectomy last Friday . Everything gone except ovaries.. My staples are getting removed tomorrow. Even though I've been in bed for a week with absolutely no exercise, I haven't gained weight.

My doctor encourage me to walk and cook for myself, but no heavy lifting and intensional exercise.
