Bloating & Weight Gain Pre-op
I have been bloated for two months now and hate to get on a scale because I don't think that it's giving me a clear picture of my "true weight!" I work out 4 to 5 days a week and eat right, but last time I got on a scale, I almost died! I couldn't believe how much weight I've gained. Has anyone had issues with pre-op weight gain from potential cysts/endo and water gain??? If so, what was your experience and did this work itself out after surgery??? I'm hoping to LOSE weight and my big bloated belly after surgery. I feel like there may be cysts growing that are causing this problem. Has anyone been told that the Dr. doesn't see much in terms of cysts on the ultrasound, but finds out differently during the actual surgery??
Help! I feel soo large and want to see if anyone's experiencing the same thing? Also, for those of you that have already gone through it, have you had issues with gaining weight after surgery??? I'm hoping to lose - is this possible??

Thanx, you guys! I'm hoping something changes soon because I feel as though my stomach is going to bust! I can't wait! I don't know a life without pain and bloating - at least 17 years!
Yes, pls let me know what you find out about the weight gain from the past 4 months!

Hi, I hope your surgery gives relief.
Actually, I left the hospital with so much swelling I could
barely breathe--couldn't get jeans over the knees!!
It took months to get over it, and even now i have intermittent
belly swelling--legs have never come back to normal...
Just a warning! Hopefully you'll flatten and glad for the hyst.

I would suggest talking to your doctor about weight gain. Often GYN issues go hand in hand with thyroid issues. I have been hypothyroid (that is slow) for years, and when I gain weight like you described, it is usually a sign that my thyroid has taken another nosedive and is slower. An adjustment in thyroid meds will help some, but losing is just plain frustrating. Without the meds, its downright impossible. To optimize your thyroid, do avoid goitergenic foods, like the brassica family - cabbages and broccoli, and especially avoid soy, which binds with thyroid hormones and makes them unusable to the cells.
