  1. I had hysterectomy in 1997 and that is when I gained all my weight. Since surgery I tried my hormone shot one time and I hit a stall when I did. So I havent took it anymore. So as far as weight loss around the time of monthly all I seen was weight gain after complete hysterectomy

  3. I had surgery Oct 8 2102. I took my shot on Oct. 23 2012. I hit a stall that I couldnt lose anything for 3 weeks. When the shot went to working out of my system I started losing again. I havent took a shot since. I feel fine without it.
  4. I have had this experience also. Before I gained all the weight I wore between an 8 and 8 1/2 in a shoe. After i gained weight I went up to a size 10 in a shoe. Now I am between and 8 and 9. I just bought new tennis shoes about 6 weeks ago and they getting to big already.

  21. went to gym worked out. Afterwards cousin and I stopped at smoothie king. I ask sales associate for something high protein low sugar she suggested the shredder I ask her what flavor she said any of them. She said they all didnt have sugar in them. Well I got a small one.20 oz. . I didnt quite finish it. It took me about 3 hours or so to finish about 3/4 of it. Now I could eat before I left home this morning due to one I wasnt hungry and two it was just to early in the morning for me to eat. I started feeling funny coming home. So I decided to check my blood sugar when I got home. It was 160 about an hour after last drink of the crap. So I went on smoothie king web site it had 41 grams of sugar and only 30 grams of protein. Now I feel really tired and like crap. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
