I have to respectfully disagree. Many women, including myself, will attest that after having a hysterectomy the weight just skyrocketed shortly thereafter. I personally was losing weight before my surgery and lost weight afterwards--even during Christmas. Not six months later my weight quickly changed--despite being on the same diet and exercising like mad. Today I can barely get the weight off. It's really, really difficult just losing 8 pounds. I'm focusing now on just maintaining my health and exercising when I can. Cycling is changing my body shape and the weight pretty much has leveled off for now. Unfortunately, it's much higher than what it used to be.
