Just wanted to put my two cents worth in!. I too have gained alot of weight since my Hysto four years ago. It's the same old story, Adhesions cause pain, so your less active, I am fortunate that I can still eat most foods and I just don't burn it off anymore. However I do notice if I eat a decent size meal I bloat very easily and I get very uncomfortable, I also get a lot of wind if I eat a good size meal. I have learnt now to eat in small amounts, I try not to over eat and I really try to stay away from red meat VERY BAD WIND, LOL .
Welcome Kelly, I hope that you find some answers here on this wonderful site, it has been a godsend for me and the friendships that I have made are even more of a bonus. I am having surgery in 3 days to repair my bladder, please say a little prayer for me.
Love and thoughts
