GAINING WEIGHT ........HELP

I am 5 years and 3 months post op ....i was doing great until i had a hysterectomy..... now i have gained 32 lbs. I am terrified....PLEASE HELP

I don't know what to say to help, but I can say I know how you feel! I had my surgery in April, 2000 as well, and was losing and then maintaining the loss, until I had a hysterectomy in December, 2002. I also had the tummy tuck and some other fat deposits removed at the same time. I lost about 15 pounds after that surgery, but in a few months I started gaining weight. Over the last couple of years I have gained about 30 or so pounds (I don't weigh myself unless I have to) and have, like you, been scared. I wonder if it has something to do with the hormonal change from the hysterectomy? Does anyone else out there know???
