Hi All,

I had a full hysterectomy January 2020 at the age of 36 and pulled on the lbs soooo quick.. went from a size 8 to a 12/14. I have managed to now lose some weight and fit in 10s now but, my god my belly is still big.. and I've never suffered with belly fat before... How can I get rid of this?? I go to the gym but nothing seems to help... I wear HRT patches on my belly... Is this what is causing it to stay fat???

Thank you

Lisa

When I was young I was long and skinny yet I still had a belly. I learnt in middle age that I was wheat intolerant. My mum had a belly as well.
Strangely, I began to put on weight when I used to take amphetamines, these are supposed to make you lose weight, but I was so depressed naturally from childhood abuse, that the amphetamines motivated me to eat more.
I became perimenopausal when I was 42, I went up to 14 stone size 18, I was okay with my appearance but my BMI was too high.
Stress caused me to go down to 7 stone, I am now just over 11 stone and size 16. I hope you don't mind the essay. Have you always had a belly? Maybe you could ask at your gym for toning exercises, if I remember rightly, laying on your back with your legs slightly raised, tones up the belly but check at the gym because I am no expert

I have never suffered with my belly, right up til I had the op.. so I know menopause is known to give you a belly and I had accepted that... BUT since then losing Weight again it's bothered me as it's just not shifting.

I, like dandelion have always had a belly but since menopause, the pounds have piled on and my tummy has doubled in size. Don’t know how or if your can get rid of it.

I have always been slim until about two years ago when I started overeating due to stress but even when slim I had a tummy, my dads side were all the same, I think it’s just our genes, but I will try and give up wheat and see what happens, it’s worth a try. X

Ive never had fat on my stomach until 3 years ago. It started building up, partly the lockdowns and eating and drinking more but also menopause and my age. I hate it. Its uncomfortable.  I cant wear the clothes i used to.  Im quite slim otherwise its very hard to reverse.

I don't have fat but my apron dropped years ago so looking down I appear fatter than I am.  In the bath I am absolutely lovely ;-). Do U weigh any extra?

[lisa06031510]

Ummm I got weighed before my op and I was 8stone 10 and a size 8 to 10 but went to a size 12 to 14 but refused to weigh myself as I knew it would not be nice... But I am now back in 10s and weighed myself about 6 weeks ago and I was 9.10... which I don't mind but just hate the belly
