Losing weight can be a daunting task but trying to lose wight after a Hysterectomy can seem impossible. I got a hysterectomy at the ripe age of 32, after having 5 fibroid while pregnant with my beautiful son. One fibroid was blocking the birth canal and the others started to squeeze my baby resulting in me receiving a emergency C-section and Hysterectomy.
So I woke up from surgery to a beautiful bundle of joy and a new body that I wasn't prepared for. The baby I was well prepared for the hormonal imbalance is a different story!
But to go into that story just check out my previous post of my weight loss journey.
After many years of trail and error, talking to health care professionals, and researching on my own I finally found something that worked!!! Yeahhhhh!!!!
Here are just 4 tips that helped me get started.
1. Ditch the Process foods!!:
Eat REAL Food!!!! Consume foods with high quality proteins, beneficial fats and complex carbohydrates. Carbs are not the devil!!!!
These should become staples in your daily diet.
2. WATER!!!!:
Water is vital to the body! The human body is 75% water. Drinking water flushes toxins out the body, gives energy, boosts metabolism and increases the production of new blood cells.
3. Sleep!!: Sleep is always overlooked. This is the time the body is recovering from all the stress you put on it during the day. The body is using this time to balance our imbalanced hormones.
4. GET MOVING!!: Don't just stand there our bodies were designed to move!
Start with just light activities like walking, bike riding or swimming.
