Has anyone lost weight on Lupron and Letrozole?

Just to understand--you need to gain weight but are finding that it is difficult while taking Letrozole? I gather it can decrease appetite in some people but that others gain weight while on it. I'm not totally sure what your concern is--fill me in if you feel like it.
I've been on letrozole for 21 months with no discernible side effects, although I need to have my bone density checked. I have lost some weight in that time but due to other things--probably a combo of stress and increased exercise. My weight is in normal range. And no one looking at me would worry, as I'm still pretty round!

Yes. That's my concern the fact that I am having a hard time gaining weight. I started both Letrozole and Lupron 2 months ago. When I was first diagnosed back in March. I was afraid to eat anything and also got depressed so I lost 10 lbs. Now after my lumpectomy, radiation and I am trying to gain back what I lost and I am finding it hard to get it back. Maybe because I cut all added sugar? I don't know. I am afraid my body is doing something else I don't know about? It just makes me nervous
