I had lost 16lbs prior to my bc diagnosis so imagine my surprise when my onc told me that instead of LOSING weight while going through chemo I would probably GAIN (I was looking for at least ONE perk). Well 20lbs later I am still waiting for it to start back down. I eat very well - lots of fruits and veggies - and really limit my intake on the food that got me into trouble in the first place. The one thing I do need to incorporate is more excercise and I am finally feeling strong enough to get that going. This past week a few people have told me that it looks like I have lost weight and I actually fit into a pair of jeans that I couldn't a few months ago. I noticed that my middle section (right above my waist) has lost some of the bloat that I had acquired. Maybe I'm on my way down at last!
