I, too, had a 20 lb weight gain after my hysterectomy with both ovaries removed in 12/10. I, too, work out 5 days a week, a minimum of 45 minutes each day. I made a pact with myself that if I went to work, I would work out. I also joined Weight Watchers. Since July, I have lost (ready for this).....6 pounds!!!! Of which, I have managed to gain 3 of it back. Why? I've gotten so tired and fatigued from working out so much, my doctor told me to give the workouts a rest. So I went to working out 3-4 days a week. I'm truly at my wits end. I feel your pain. I'm scheduled to see an endocrinologist in December to see if they have a miracle.
By the way, and I'm not trying to be rude, but don't you just love it when people assume that you're eating too much or not following a diet because you can't lose weight? People should understand that if you are taking the time to explain your symptoms and ask for help that you've truly exhausted most everything that you can think of.
