Anyone gain weight after a hysterectomy? I did...a lot!

Has anyone here ever had a hysterectomy and experienced weight gain afterward that you thought was directly related? How much weight? What type of hyster did you have? Were you able to lose the weight once you got back on CC track? Did you develop any other problems because of the surgery? Thanks for your help!

Has anyone had a hysterectomy?  No effect on weight?

Hello!

I had my hysterectomy on Monday, May 19th. On Sunday, before I went to the hospital, I weighed 125. Now, 2 days after surgery, I weigh 137! IN TWO DAYS!

What's going on? Is this fluid weight from the IV? There is no way I gained 12 pounds in two days! I hardly ate anything at the hospital. Does anyone have any experience with this. My belly area is swollen but they say that's normal after a hysterectomy. If it is fluid weight, how long until it goes away.

I hope someone out there has an answer for this.

Thanks and God bless!

I have just joined cc in hopes to have some help with losing the 25lbs I have gained after my hyst.. my Hyst.. was in 2004 when I was 34 and weighed 130lbs and never watched what i ate nor did I exercise. I had a very lean and cut body naturally.. Now I'm not so toned to say the least.. have a very bad coplex with this issue.. Need some advise on maybe different exercises and diet..

My sister had a hyterectomy last year and was given saline via IV.  This causes a huge amount of water retention and she was given diuretics to help her lose the water weight.  Even without a diuretic your body will return to your natural weight within a few days. 

Hi, I had a hysterectomy in Feb 2006 - my weight problems if you can call that was always with max 5kg's, never more than that. I am 38, have 2 teenage kids, also not the gyming type but the weight never got stuck on me due to my high energy levels.

I have picked up to date 30kg's - I dont feel myself, I am exhausted all the time, tried many diets (difficult if you always had a healthy appetite). The weight is mainly around my abdominal area and now obviously creaping into all areas, butt, legs, arms, everywhere.  I look 9 months pregnant - someone please help me.

I am very unhappy with myself and really need some advice.
