I had a hysterectomy in2001 . Yes your body changes but you can lose weight and feel good I have just lost enough to have moved into a healthy bmi, but still have a few more kgs to shift.

I recommend the nhs 12 week plan. Log everything thing that passes your lips.

A free app called myfitnesspal helps track calories and nutrients. It even has a barcode scanner so it is easy to use.

You will find your body will thank you for losing eight

You should get less pain.

Try and move as much as possible. Walking is great. Or swimming.

Make small doable changes. Park the car a little further away than you need. Gradually increase how far you walk.

All the best.

I had a hysterectomy a few years ago and put on piles of weight and I to suffer from fibromyalgia so I know how demoralising it is. It really knocks your confidence but you are doing the right thing in making this move towards change. You should be proud of yourself for getting to this point. Being over weight makes you feel less confidence about how others perceive you. I'm sure your husband doesn't mean to knock your confidence, but often men do not know how to deal with things like weight and pain, so deal with things in strange ways. Talk to him about how it makes you feel and ask him to support you in a practical way. Men love tasks as it makes them feel more useful(sorry to all the men reading this, but it really seems to be true)

Hope you have a wonderful week and it gets more positive and you are not feeling in so much pain.

I have fibromyalgia too so moving around kills I dont let it stop me though yes am not as fast and active as I use to be but I do still do everything .mayb I will try swimming like tobefabandfit said .

I cant have hormone replacements as I suffered from pulomony embolisms. So am too high risk .

Stress hormones haha ya know what I need some of that as am a right moody cow theses days after having the hysterectomy propper stress head too snappy
