I was thinking of starting a thread asking if post-hysterectomy women w/o ovaries w/o hormones were doing ok w/ weight loss. I'm in surgical menopause for almost 8 months now and not on hormones on account of cancer, but I lost 13 lbs. post-surgery and have maintained the loss for the past 7 months. I'm surprised at that actually , because I heard menpause causes difficulty w/ weight loss. I do wish could get the weight loss ball rolling again (and I will), but I have been lax in cutting the amount of food I'm eating and I need to increase my activity. I have heard people complain of weight gain on hormones, but it is hard to say if the hormones are the cause or if they are eating more and moving less. Is it necessary for you to use hormones?
