Lack of oestrogen.  After a hyster, one is plunged into menopause and unless you have oestrogen it is difficult to maintain your original body shape.  I'm afraid we all have to eat a lot less and exercise more when meno hits as well. DG x

Hi Daisie

I can vouch for Dancinggirls post

Oestrogen and smaller portions for me got me my figure back plus eating less really helps with the horrible bloated feeling
