Ohh those surgeries are a major hormone disruption for sure! It seems so many of us gain weight after menopause and yours was brought on prematurely with the loss of your uterus and ovaries. It’s a constant battle isn’t it?
I see from your last reply that you’re 63. I’m 67 and experience the same lack of satiety with eating! Sadly, it’s another one of those little indignities foisted on us with our “coming of age”…the signal that lets us know when we’re full malfunctions.
The only thing I’ve found that works so I don’t overeat is to actually portion out food on my plate and don’t allow myself to reach for seconds. With only my husband and I eating together, it’s easier to just push away from the table and get busy to stash the dishes and such. Changing focus helps me forget that I don’t feel full. I finish afterwards with a small fix of chocolate.
If I sit at the table, I’m likely to keep ‘dibba-dabbing’ at whatever’s in front of me until I’m ready to burst. Then about 15 minutes later, my food-alert alarm goes off in my gut alerting me that it’s NOT Thanksgiving you fool and I feel like a stuffed turkey for hours.

Pushing away from the table along with avoiding extra carbs really helped me lose 10 pounds a couple years ago. I didn’t stop carbs altogether. Just ate one slice of bread made into a half sandwich for lunch, tossed maybe 5 potato chips, half an apple and a pickle on my plate. Once I got a roll and actually saw a pound less on the scales, it motivated me to keep going. I ate smaller meals and had little healthy snacks of protein during the day. Also I upped my water intake. That helped me feel full. Modifying my behaviors really made the difference.

But, let me tell you from experience having a few extra pounds as we age is not a bad thing! It gives us a safe reserve in the possibility of a severe or catastrophic illness. I only wanted to lose 10 pounds and was a happy camper. Clothes felt better and I felt better about myself. But a few months later I was diagnosed with leukemia and had a stem cell transplant. 2 years ago, I lost 40! It was an awkward challenge to gain back 20 pounds. Those extra pounds on my bones really saved me!
