A member asked:

I had a hysterectomy about six months ago i've gained 40 pounds i'm extremely irritable all the time everything gets under my skin i am mean please help?

Details needed.: Why did you need a hysterectomy? Is that problem resolved? Were ovaries removed? Are you having hot flashes or night sweats or other signs of early menopause? You're doctor can help narrow this done. Sometimes sleep disturbances associated with menopause can lead to chronic stress and weight gain, although not usually.
