Hey Ali
if you have a fruit and nut tomorrow night then you would be getting 2 of your 5 portions a day, the red wine is obviously a good choice so keep drinking.

Nice to see that we all have enough life and sense of humour to worry about our weight!!!
I am on a roller-coster: one week I loose (very bad tummy aches, no nausea but - ahem - the other side is really upset), and I cannot eat a bite, surviving on broth and little more.
the second week I am as hungry as an ogre, my taste buds are back, and I would wolf down the whole world! so far the weight is OK because it balances itself, but I fear piling them on as soon as I stop chemo… not that I would elect to stay on it!!!
Plus, as I will start Tamoxifen and going back to work - knowing that I am mostly sitting down… gosh, I’ll roll downhill.
Cheers from my glass of wine to yours! today is a hungry day: I made a soufflé with my little girl, tomorrow I’ll be a kg heavier…
Hi all
I was weighed pre chemo friday and they had added 20kgs by mistake, good job I went back and asked them to convert as was sure I had not but on well over 2 stone in 3 weeks, prob deserve to (wine, goodies etc), Nurse checked my name and said she was right but I insisted so she weighed me again and meekly apologised, bless her. Keep up girls with the “good food” advice. Any other goodies we should be having I want to know about.
Take care all
Love

Money talks. Chocolate sings.
Hi - this site is great. I realise I’m not on my own the 3 W’s !! Weight, wee and wind !! Thought it was only me. I should have had my 3rd FEC today but bloods too low. I have put on nearly a stone. Nothing tastes right so I think well I’ll try such and such a thing and that doesn’t taste right so I’ll eat something else. Also not doing much exercise. Reconstruction still hurts and is very uncomfortable though 3 months down the line. My daughter came home the other weekend with some gin and tonic flavoured chocolate - heaven !!!
Just had to slices toast - I’ll go and raid the cupboard !!

hee hee…lovely that we have our very own fat club…now bring me another slice of fruit cake…
This is so funny, i am sat here feeling like a fat bald weeble as the lady who started this discussion and laughing at all your comments. It really is nice to know we all feel the same. I too have 1 week when i hate food and sleep all the time and another week when i am permanently starving and awake all night, nothing for it but bad movies and chocolate at 3.00 in the morning!

Hi Babyboo
Couldn’t help noticing that you are in Sweden - we have holidayed there the last two years and loved it. First in Oland then in the south and Gothenburg last year. Adding my two pennarth to the thread, Ive completely gone off sweet stuff just can’t touch it for some reason yuk which is NOT like me at all ! Finding it a bit hard trying to find goodies but have settled for dried mango slices which are YUM. Ive lost a bit of weight but can’t stop pouching crisps and cheese and savoury stuff. OH and the kids are a bit miffed cause there is never any galaxy in the fridge - whoops … Im sure once chemo is over my taste buds will return along with my brain ??
Here’s hoping …
love to all x
Diane
Hello Diane
Glad you liked Sweden…Visit Värmland next time and take a raft tour down the river…
I only went back on the sweet stuff two months ago…went off it when preggers with my first child, he is three and a half now and then it never came back with baby number two who will be two in December… but it has to be 70% chocolate…mmmmmmmm…off to see if we have any left!

Hi Girls
Haven’t been on here for a bit, and have just laughed so much at these posts !
Unfortunately, I was very sick with my first 4 chemo’s (EC) so lost a stone and a half, (I even managed to get into my daughter’s size 8 clothes) BUT I am very pleased to tell you that since my last four (taxol & gem), my appetite has returned with a vengeance and the pounds are piling back on ! I now have the appetite of an elephant and can’t stop raiding the fridge. Do I care ? do I hell !!!
Like you say, after all the crap we’re going through, the last thing we need to do is diet !
Bring on the chocolate !!!
Love to all and thanks again for the laughs!

Inside me lives a skinny woman crying to get out. But I can usually shut her up with chocolate.
Happy eating girls.

DISASTER…I have eaten all the chocolate…NOOOOOOOOOooooooooo!
Hi All
I am eating like a pig. Just seen the oncologist today (not mine he is on holiday again), and cos quite small anyway, she was asking how I am getting on with chemo and if I am eating. Had to tell her that I am eating like a pig, stuffing my face whenever, and choccies, well can’t get enough, ice cream with choccy sauce, bring it on and even been out buying penguins and kitkats!!! Have to hide them all from hubby and 3yr old daughter!!
Everyone enjoy your treats, we all deserve it and shouldn’t worry about the weight. I was weighed today, but she didn’t say how much I have put on - probably didn’t want to embarrass me, as reckon must have put on nearly a stone, although still squeezing into my 10s.
Take care all
Love

What’s really great about this thread - apart from the amusement from everyone’s comments - is that we are a bunch of women who are bucking the trend and fretting about our weight. For the first time since I was 14 (and I’m now fast approaching 49), I don’t care that I am putting on weight. I now realise there are more important things to focus on - getting well and maintaining strength as we go through this s**t. I know it’s not going to be easy to lose it but that can wait until I get through treatment.
Thanks, Ladies, for making me laugh and realising that it’s not just me!!

Can it be a mistake that “STRESSED” is “DESSERTS” backwards ?
Ha Ha that made me laugh margaret … never ever realised that … maybe its a sign. EAT MORE DESSERTS. I have just stuffed my face with chocolate eclaire and it was yummy.
Go girls
Love
Dawn
