Well, I am new to this forum and I need desperate help. I am 10 1\2 years out first surgery and 7 years out from revision due to a botched surgery the first time. I got down to 120 after second surgery but I was sickly thin. So I purposely gained 10 pounds. Over the last few years I've gained about 5 pounds a year. Well, I had a full hysterectomy least year and was thrown into menopause and put on a high dose of estrogen. I've gained monthly since then. Now I'm up to almost 160 and I'm scared. I don't know what to do. I don't eat sweets at all. I drink tons of green tea a day and focus mainly on eating meat and veggies. I do eat some carbs. I can eat a regular meal depending on what it is. Can't eat pasta very much or bread so I stay away from those. I do eat granola bars but not too often. I don't know what to eat or how much! I don't know how many calories I should be eating. I don't really exercise because I'm a full time elementary teacher. I get up at 5 a.m. and get home at 6 p.m. I cook dinner, grade papers, spend time with my teenagers and am in bed by 10:00. Can someone please help me? I don't have any support here and feel lost.
