I was very thin through my teen years and early marriage, and then gained weight with my babies. Two years ago when I was DX'd with Her2 I weighed 50 lbs more than I do now. I immediately lost all desire for sweets and dairy with the chemo, lost 50 lbs very fast and have not gained any since. In fact I still dislike really sweet things, even bananas, which I used to love. So I am very thin now after herceptin. I don't know if most people are or not, and if in my case it is because of the chemo and a drastic diet change or the herceptin, or losing appetite. So there is my experience for what it is worth. As always it is interesting to see what experience others have had, and we learn so much from each other! Hugs, Tricia
