My Crazy Sexy Life

Had to lighten up the title. couldn't resist. Just wondering how many others are actually GAINing weight during treatment. I was on female hormones and took myself off them cuz of weight gain. I have now gained back 20 of the 30 lbs I busted my but to lose at weight watchers. I should shut up and just be happy that I'm not emaciated and 80 lbs, so I have more to fight with, but C'MON. I'm not sure if it is the chinese herbals I am on or what, cuz I have had NO nausea (even after i quit taking the antibarf meds 2 days post chemo) and have the appetite of a small country, even with the taste changes....hmm. I'm stumped

I hear ya. I JUST finished losing 30lbs when I got the initial diagnosis. Was quite happy with my new skinny wardrobe. Now I have a fat and skinny wardrobe, as well as a chemo wardrobe (sweats and fuzzy socks...tee hee). I think no matter how hard it is to look at, we have to be thankful that we have the extra for our bodies to fight with. I know a lot of the ladies on here are battling with simply being able to keep food down and keep weight on. I know I personally need to get off my a$$ more and get moving, but another side effect is peripheral neuropathy, and 2 weeks ago I broke a toe doing upward facing dog because my toes bent too far back and I didn't feel it. I think I'll try belly dancing. Lord knows I HAVE the belly, and I think I would feel it if I broke a HIP. LMAO.
Peace Girls, don't worry about the jigglies anymore, we will start a workout CSL group once we are all feeling better.
PS. Prednisone, dex and the other steroids are a bitch. You can't do anything about gaining weight from them, just roll with it for now, and let your body heal.
peace and love to all of you crazy sexy women!

Hey Robin,

What a great title for your post!

You sound and look really healthy - and I know the extra pounds can really be a pain.

May I ask if you are a vegetarian, vegan or raw food type person?

Do you juice?

How about exercise or activities?

I realize that the added weight is probably the result of your medications - which may be increasing your appetite.

There are a lot of great groups here that you should check out - that I feel would be better than a Weight Watchers membership.

I know you can do it - and we are here to help.

Love & Huggs - Always!!! :)

Ron
