I ate like a pig on TX but it was mostly wholesome organic foods and i stayed the same weight,seems like the drugs ate the food.After TX and i gained weight easy with the same diet,at least i didnt lose muscle this time around.
Remember Frair Tuck from the cartoon Hercules?.....this is me
I've heard of a lot of folks loosing weight. I've lost about 10 lbs in about 30 wks and I also eat all the time. I'm surprised because I am NOT very active on tx.
Oh, yeah...I lost weight...almost 20 pounds & I didn't have it to lose. The deeper into tx I got, the less interested in food I became...it all started to taste like cardboard. I rarely get a "taste" for anything..I'm eating to stay alive. In fact, since I'm on the pegintron, my dr adjusted my dosage to compensate for the weight loss.
I've lost around 50 lbs on tx, week 41 of 48. Luckily I needed to lose that and more! Nothing seems appetizing. Another lucky thing is being married to a restauranteur who keeps on making things that appeal to me.
Some days all I could eat was apples. I would take my riba with some spoons of coconut oil and an apple. And then I had periods where I was eating like a pig. But mostly, I was eating very little. I lost a lot of weight, and by the end of tx I didn't even have a behind to sit on. Mind you, I was lying in bed all through tx anyway, so didn't really need it.
I'm guessing that if you eat a lot and you are still loosing weight, your thyroid might be hyper... then you burn fat faster.
My weight stayed pretty steady until about week 20, then I started to lose both weight and hair. I fell into the normal BMI range for the first time in years. I look a bit gaunt, especially in my face, but I feel good getting the weight off and trimmer since I was pre-diabetic before tx. Now to try and keep it off after tx! I don't have much of an appetite and have to push myself to eat. Everything except fruit, fresh green beans and peas in the pod is repulsive this week.
I lost a lot at the end. I'm starting to recover after ending on Aug. 10. I ate a bunch of Mexican food last night and dropped another half a pound. Go figure. One heck of a way to get back into your skinny clothes.
