Need info on hormones and weight gain

Hi all. I know this is a little bit off topic but still involves weight issues. 7 weeks ago I had to have my ovaries and fallopian tubes removed (uterous was long gone). This brings on instant menopause. Anyway, we initially tried not to use hormones but I spent so much time crying that my poor husband dragged me back to the doctor and she put me on Premarin. It has made a WORLD of difference. I see that the side effects include weight gain. However, I haven't gained weight but I stay unbelievably bloated all the time. My pants don't even fit any more. It's miserable. I don't want to switch to an over the counter product as I feel it won't be as effective. Has anyone else had this problem? What did you do? Does the bloating go away?
