Tymlos body fat

Posted by and61 @and61, Jun 19 12:52pm

Are there any Tymlos users who have NOT gained waist fat?

@cathyf31

I think majority. Im finished my two year treatment and I did gain some weight and a muffin top. Not enough to go up a size though. It came off within a few weeks of ending TYMLOS.

I too have am finding bloating and belly fat. I am very glad to learn from others that I am not imagining above.
Refreshing to know it will hopefully go away once treatments end.
Can anyone share what foods they take to meet the 1200 mg of daily calcium besides dairy products?

Thank you

@willowmena, I have been off Tymlos now for 7 months. I am following up with 25mcg of Climara, an estrogen patch. I am 75 so at first my doctor's were against it. I had to go to a functional Dr who originally prescribed 14 mcg Menostar. I was on the lower dose with half a dose of Tymlos for 5 months before increasing the estrogen when I stopped Tymlos. Unfortunately, I still have the belly fat.

Have you maintained your bone density on hrt? I started hrt 2 months before my Tymlos. I'm 7 months in and hoping to maintain any gains just with hrt.

@willowmena, Once I got on the estrogen patch prescribed by the functional Dr, surprisingly my other doctors were fine with it. Meanwhile the black box warning had been taken off vaginal estrogen. Now my endrocrinologist is prescribing the higher dose!

@drsuefowler I am on the vaginal estrogen cream, but no "convention" dr. will prescribe the estrogen patch. My mother died from breast cancer, and her brother from colon cancer at a young age. I believe that is a big factor

I have been on Tymlos for 13 months and have gained about 7 lbs all in my belly which is very uncomfortable. However, the pro is that my BTM and dexa show improvement so I will continue the Tymlos. Has anyone changed injecting in the thigh versus the belly with good results and possibly reducing the belly fat?

@lurawilson
I’m starting Tymlos soon and I plan to try THIGH instead of BELLY.
Historically, average, muscular thighs, that some fat wouldn’t hurt. Belly has enough fat! lol!
I hope we get some feed back.
Thank you for sharing your 13 month journey. Best wishes for continued bone increase. That’s wonderful.

I’d be interested in knowing about those that apply their SubQ injections in their THIGHS, and for how long, the overall outcomes, (fat, swelling, redness, bone increases, etc) and after stopping is all back to normal with thighs?

@lbrown742, so far I have, but it may be too early to tell. My DEXA was only 4 months after I stopped Tymlos. It showed improvement over the one a year before. At the same time my P1NP and CTX decreased considerably. I plan to have my bone markers tested next week so I will know more. I'm hoping my CTX will still be low. This blood test will be 7 months without Tymlos and 3 months since my last bone marker tests.
