I’m not trying to be snide, but I’m now actually looking for weight loss after distal surgery. I was 125 last year after my surgery/chemo and yesterday I just weighed in at 155 and I keep putting on 2 pounds every time I weigh in at the infusion center! I’m going not 5’4”. Any ideas how to lose about 10-15 pounds? I don’t eat much, really, but my GAC chemo doesn’t have the long lasting nausea effects that my fulfirnix had so my appetite is too good though I eat small amounts a few times per day ( I am tuoe 1 diabetic now with severe lows and severe highs and if I go too long without eating my blood sugar starts plummeting real fast to 60’s and below if I or my son who watches over me like a hawk doesn’t catch it when I’m sleeping). I have to eat candy in order to stop that plummeting. Any suggestions?
