How much weight did you lose?

I haven't lost anything, especially w/the constipation! I pack on five pounds and up a day just trying to put the fiber and tons of liquids into my body. I'm doing two miles worth of walking around the area where I live today (30 min. each 1/2 mile lap and spread out from dawn to dusk)....... just trying to maintain my pre-hysterectomy weight. I'm usually active. It's true the appetite isn't all that great, but I've always loved to eat!

I am almost four weeks post op and have lost 11 pounds. My uterus was over 2 1/2 times the normal size. I have found that as I am feeling better than I have in two years, my appetite is not as big and I am moving around so much more.

Heehee, I came home 12 lbs heavier, due to fluid retention! I am petite & yeah, just looks like a big gut. One week post op now, down to my exact weight as when I went in. Can't wait to do some sit-ups, but gotta wait 4 weeks per my doc.

I have to wait the full two weeks to drive, and the full six weeks to swim/ride a bike...... it is KILLING me to walk so slowly outside. The neighbors (and neighborhood dogs) are looking at me and doing doubletakes because they are so accustomed to seeing me playing badminton w/my granddaughter or riding a bike or walking really fast. It's a hoot. I thought maybe w/TVH I wouldn't have swelly belly but last night oh how huge it looked. And one can't 'suck it in' like pre-surgery. This too shall pass, eh? Have a good night all my hystersisters! E.
