I went through the same thing you did, I assume you mean that your ovaries were removed as well? What did it for me was to have intense exercise in my schedule at least 5 days a week (strength training as well as riding) and to move to a very high protein/low fat/moderate carb diet.I do not have a thyroid either, so I do have to work harder than the average bear at the best of times. I do not take hormones, it might have been a little easier with this, I honestly do not know. Have you visited with a nutritionist or your doctor?

Also make certain that you are getting enough calories, I was eating far less when I was much larger - my body wouldn't give it up until it "knew" that there was enough coming in that it could let it go. I never actually believed that until I saw it in action.
