This is really probably dumb to ask, but has anyone had a problem with their midriff/tummy area protruding and feeling full following chemo and/or aromatase inhibitors? I walk about 3.5 miles every other day and also quite active as well as cutting down on food, but I keep expanding.
Hummmmm… good question. I’m not sure if it’s because of AI’s or if I just don’t care anymore…. I haven’t weighed myself in several months. My clothes still fit ok. After having cancer, a little weight gain for me is a minimal worry. I am a very small person though and I’m sure too much weight wouldn’t be a good thing for me.
@buckimom – I know, I can't either since they chopped off my size triple Ds…my midriff is now the first thing you see!!! I have found fit and flare tops help.

Yes! And I don’t like it 😩
@buckimom Sometimes I feel like it's going to explode.

Tunics are my go-to tops now!
Oh my. I thought the expanding midriff was just another symptom I was blaming on my Anastrozole
@dottieh LOL…I've been blaming all my ills on these durned aromatase inhibitors!
