All symptoms subsided. Now, I'm having hot flashes and night sweats again! Arrgh! I thought my sleepless nights were over!! Will i periodically go thru this? I don't take hormones, I exercise regularly, and I eat a healthy balanced diet. Is a call to ob/gyn in order or is this normal?

Always check with your doctor - better safe than sorry. Sometimes when performing a hysterectomy, they leave a portion of an ovary intact (in fact, some times they leave all the ovaries, and just remove the uterus), so that you still have some of the hormones your body needs - this may be hitting menopause now.
Good luck, and feel better.

Normal, I have had same surgery, I haven't taken hormones for the last 3-4 years either. I get an occasional hot flash, I haven't had any sleepless nights myself though, you may want to talk to them about the sleep pattern, could be something else going on, are you under a lot of stress? Or are you drinking any caffeine late in the day, I know Tea's make me have problems falling asleep. I wouldn't worry too much, you could always try over the counter herbs for the hot flashes, I heard they are available, but I never personally tried them.

It probably is normal. Your body is confused. You are 36, too young for menopause and by having the hysterectomy it is tricking your body. It wouldn't hurt for you to call your doctor; he may have something that may help you through this. It's got to be miserable for you. It's good that you take good care of yourself with a good diet and exercise but it's not going to help the hot flashes. Take care.

Good nutrition will help ease the symptoms of menopause by supplying a changing body with the nutrients necessary for optimal health throughout this transitional phase.Get enough calcium. A woman going through menopause needs 1000 mg to 1500 mg of calcium a day. Avoid excessive amounts of salt to reduce bloating associated with hormonal changes.

Music allows you to eat more. According to a work by the journal Psychology in addition to Marketing, soft, classical tunes encourage one to take time over your mealtime, so you consume more food. So, switch off – silence will always make you more aware of what you’re setting up your mouth.

It’s Friday brunch time and you just can’t stop going back regarding seconds. But hang on! Stop for a minute and suck on a supplementary strong mint. The flavour will put you off that next plate of chicken korma/roast beef/sushi medley.

Decaf coffee is a wonderful low-calorie fluid when you're having cravings (and an incredible source of antioxidants).

Bask in the the sun's rays. Just 20 minutes of Vitamin D absorption on a daily basis will boost your ability to help loose weight.

Get back on basics – burn more unhealthy calories than you ingest.

Purchase smaller plates. Little crockery means portion control is much easier – those diminutive portions suddenly look huge and you’ll be happier to take less.
