Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I decided it was easier to start a new topic for each quesiton to keep it straight lol I'm on a roll now! Since having the Radical Hysterectomy I have started having hot flashes and some mood swings. Before Surgery I asked my Oncologist would I need hormone theraphy after this procedure he said no. That my fat cells produce added Estrogen and that was partly why I developed Uterine Cancer. He said I was probably already having some menopause even if I wasn't aware of it at 46 yrs old and shouldn't feel much different after the hysterectomy. Well that isn't what has happened. While I am thankful the hot flashes are mild I have them daily and I was wondering how this is going to affect my weight loss... Is there any affect on it? I have read up on what to do to make it through menopause easier and diet and exercise are key. I have begun to add in a few more of the foods that help.. mainly certain types of veggies. Also was told that primrose is very helpful. Fish oils a must. which I am doing. problem is .. all the primrose I find is in a large casule.. which I mentioned is a concern for me on the last post. Mainly I just would like to know if there menopause hinders weight loss and what can I do? maybe I should call my WLS? see I'm loopier than EVER! LOL trying to stay proactive in my health. Would appreciate any help here I can get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
