I seem to be hungry all the time and I'm putting on weight around my gut. Anybody else run into this? I exercise one to two hours a day. Surfing, bike and walking. Also light weights.

Thanks
Tom

I did well for the first six years of treatment and the last three have been on HT. Zytiga and Zometa have recently added some weight gain, and like you I exercise regularly. Watching what I eat is now imperative if I am going to lose the weight and keep it off. Good luck.

I feel your pain

One of the many side effects of the Lupron

Despite my best efforts in the kitchen and the gym, I have gained 10 lbs. around my middle.

My appetite has increased as well.

Not so much appetite increase, but definite weight gain. I eat less than ever, but can barely maintain my slowly rising weight. It's really frustrating.

Oh, and I fully recognize the other side of that situation, the unwanted loss of weight. That can be very worrisome too, and probably more frustrating and even fearful.
