    Hi Samantha I got it to bloating..menopause causes many many symptoms I use to feel like I would shut away myself at times but with the little strength I have I try not to let it take over,it does get better in the long run I'm hoping we will come out of this with fly colours.

    Yes yes yes. I've always been pear-shaped but managed to retain a flat tummy. Now it is distended and I feel puffy and bloated. Very dispiriting, and I can't fit into any of my clothes. Wish I could give you some positive advice/help. But I'm afraid all I can say is you are not alone. X

    I feel the same way.  I've never had a problem with my weight in a long time, but now that I am going through post menopause I have struggled with my weight, no energy, feel fatigued, emotions are out of control, hot flashes are really annoying, can't stay focused, so many things changing it is unreal.  Glad there is forums like this out there and I know I am not alone.  We are all in this together.  Sending you (((((Hugs)))) I know how frustrating all this is.
