Ready to start again after surgery!

[snels]

Hi everyone,
I had a hysterectomy the end of May, and I have been off my diet for a few months. I feel strong enough now to start dieting again. I am nervous about getting on the scale. I think I gained alittle weight after my surgery. I needed some motivation to get going again, so I booked alittle trip to DW in December!
I will begin my low-fat diet this week!
Thanks for your support.
Sandy

I'm glad your feeling better after the surgery!
Who says you have to step on the scale now. Just get back into your diet then step on the scale when your ready. Why torture yourself when you know you've gained weight. That's what I would do, unless of course you want to know how much you've gained.
I just found out I have to have a hysterectomy because I have fibroids. If you could pm me to tell me your experience I would appreciate it... a lot. I'm so chicken

Lynn CC,
Thanks for the good advice. I think that is what I will do for the first few weeks.
I don't have the pm feature enabled.
One of the best helps I found before my surgery is a site called hystersisters.com
Make sure you go there. There are thousands of women there who have gone through a hysterectomy. You can register and ask any question you would like.
They offer lots of advice for pre op and post op. I found most of it to be very useful.
Follow your dr's directions. You will be fine.

Good luck,
Sandy
