Ladies that had a hysterectomy- did you find it more challenging to lose weight after? Any tips? Please tell me a little about how your weight loss has gone and how you have felt on LC. Have you had to adjust the way you eat LC in any way?
I had mine on 12-11-17 and am ready to get back to eating healthy again. I was lucky and didn't gain any weight after surgery. But it was complicated and healing has been a very long challenge with set backs. I have only had the energy to be on my feet and start cooking over the last week.
I haven,t had one but everyone I know who did blew right threw it like it was nothing. My sister in law waited two weeks and went on a low carb plan. She seemed to lose well.
Both may slow weight loss.
Or aka "increase metabolic resistance" , almost any hormone med according to Jackie Eberstein. On this list http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=453311
I spoke with her personally when I was on Tamoxifen.
In Dr Westman's new talk on DietDoctor, he also mentions weight loss is slower/harder the older you are, the less active, and for women, the farther into menopause. https://www.dietdoctor.com/day-low-carb-clinic
So nothing to do about age ...but add more activity, be strict about carbs and calories (Jackie suggested cutting out all nuts, wine and cheese, limit added fats)
Personally I am not a fan of HRT, and wishing you good results from natural treatment, or the shortest course of the lowest dose, to get through the transition.
I only lost one ovary, but I don’t think the system ever came back online. I had to figure out hormones and take them to function.
Along the way, I discovered that doctors give the artificial forms. These are the ones which cause the scary side effects. If you do decide on HRT, insist on bio-identical.
I didnt realize success on LC until after the surgery, though I have been on and off LC since 2000.
IMO let your body heal. Perhaps reach out to Dr christiane northrip via Facebook.
I wish I had never had genetic testing. I wish I had never had my ovaries removed. Life has been miserable with out the ovaries as HRT is not forthcoming because of cancer risks. I did all this surgery to avoid the scurge of cancer treat ment.... joke on me.
Good luck. Be patient. You will find solutions to make life bearable.
