I am not happy

I am over 2 years out and recently I had a hysterectomy and I have blown up like a whale. Apparently you get that with a hysterectomy. Well I am now 3 months out from that and my clothes are tighter. Now extremely tight but not like last summers. I hear it can last up to six months. The more I stand or do more, the more swell. I know my eating hasn't been the best which I am now working on. I have done some emotional eating. Which is basically just snacking more. It was really hard after but I am working on that part. I know I swell because in the morning I am flatter and then as the day goes on up it goes. I think it makes more aware of my eating though. When I was heavier I didn't notice when I would gain at all. I just feel like such a pudge ball. I haven't hit my goal weight yet either. I wanted to lose another 15 pounds. Anyway, thanks for letting me vent.  Paula

Was it a total? I think I could be the added hormones, ask your Dr. what hormone combination is best for you. Once you get the correct combination and dose hopefully things will get back to normal, hang in there, my sister had a total at about age 32 I know it's not easy.

Well I still have my ovaries so not sure if can still be hormones. Although I have lost everything else. I think it is overwhelming at times. Even though I didn't plan on more children it did make me rather sad. I still have PMS, but I never know when that is going to be. Today I feel like a whale. I am so bloated in my stomach. They call it a swelly belly on hystersisters.com. They even have something like a girdle for that. I am so scared about gaining weight. I can eat so much more than I ever could early out. I don't know how it fits sometimes. I am not talking about huge amounts but small meals. I hate that early out you have to eat several small meals because you train like that for so long and when you can finally eat more you have to litterally cut back. Never thought this early out. Now with this hysterectomy on top of it all it really is hard. Anyway, thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to write.  Have a great day! Paula Ps I am due to see my surgeon for blood work and I will ask him about it all too.
