@Molly001 I was exactly the same as you, always quite trim at a stable weight. I went up a size which as you say was something unexpected though they said to me it would happen. Already broken and beaten from chemo, bald, no eyelashes and constantly in pain and felt sick, dealing with this absolutely shoots your self confidence. I'm 10 years older than you, and thought maybe as it threw me into an unnatural menopause, that it was the culprit. I remember seeing my Surgeon and he said not to worry as I will return to more my weight, it takes time for the body to readjust again. I'm 19 months post Chemo now, I've come along way, but cannot stress the importance of an Exercise Physiologist, I needed professional rehabilitation, I couldnt even walk to my letterbox. Now I can walk an hour self paced. I have dropped a couple of kilos but not the whole lot. I still want to lose about 5kg but honestly its hard!! So you absolutely can lose it inspite of treatment and ongoing meds. I had to change my diet up too, but I feel great!!! which gives you confidence to keep building. Hang in there, it does get better it's just a slow process. Oh and I love Kmart haha!!!! Hugs Melinda xo
