I’m in th US so please excuse my not using metric measurements. I found that herceptin bestowed a horrendous appetite on me. It was not unlike the movie image of a viking ravenously gnarling on a turkey leg. It was quite embarrassing. My appetite has slowed but the weight is still on. It’s hard to say exactly how much I have gained because I had lost from the chemo from the onset of treatment. I have had several emotionally draining events take place. I am more active now than I have been in the last couple of years. I do not maintain an exercise regimen. I have lymphedema that flares up from time to time. I have moved 5 times in the last 1 1/2 years and am currently facing another move, this one to my vehicle because I have nowhere else to go. I am on a waiting list for a sr. Low income apartment which is all I can afford. How can I put myself on a diet when I have been in so many environments where I am unable to prepare my own food? Combined with the fact I can’t afford to buy the food that is healthier. I need to lose 50 - 60 lbs.
Hi Chart. So sorry to hear of your situation. The main thing for you is to keep yourself safe. Healthy eating etc will be easier when you are settled. Do you have family or friends that you could stay with? X
