I'm three weeks post surgery. Had total hysterectomy, everything out. This week I started feeling my same PMS signs - weepy, hardcore craving lemonade and seltzer water. WTF? How can I have PMS with no ovaries or uterus? Can someone explain this? Has it happened to you?

For context, I'm 53, was in menopause for 2 years prior to my total hysterectomy. ( Had everything out for cancer prevention, family history of cancer.) Even during menopause I'd have monthly PMS symptoms. Docs just shrugged and said I must still be making some small level of hormones. But this just seems ridiculous!
