I can certainly see why you are frustrated with the inability to lose weight post-hysterectomy. Unfortunately, every single woman's body reacts differently to a hysterectomy-- did you have your ovaries removed?
Just like there may be a woman who loses weight after a hysterectomy, there are two more that gain it. Keep in mind that sometimes hysterectomies bring on Menopause and the weight gain may be coming from the surgically-induced Menopause, than from the hysterectomy itself.
