Weight Loss on Zoladex for Prostate Cancer

[Andrevz]

What can be done to gain weight i have lost while on Zoladex 10.8 for 5 years now?

Strange. You normally put weight on, particularly around your midriff. I’ve gained 14 pounds over 6 years, are you eating well, or on some kind of diet that you’ve heard about on the Internet?

[Andrevz in reply to TommyTV]

Hi Tommy, No, I assume it is the Zoladex inj, as I lost 10 Kg in one month, between injections.

This application does however give you a lower appetite. Thanks for your interest shown.

[TommyTV in reply to Andrevz]

Zoladex injections should be every 3 months. That’s the regime.

[Andrevz in reply to TommyTV]

Hi Tommy, correct, every 3 months

I gained >15 pounds in two years on Lupron. Are there other medical issues?

Now you can have as many milkshakes as you wish. Specifically, unless you are diabetic take three cans of Ensure or similar drink every day.

[Andrevz in reply to Stelle]

Hi Stelle, thanks for the encouragement.Oeps, I dont love milkshakes, but currently on the Ensure Shakes.

Saw a comment on another post that marijuana helps appetite and weight gain. It is true. I tried a few puffs once in my life, and could not stop eating after that.

Venezuelan Ceralac drink powder (400g packages) for kids will put on the weight and give excellent nutrition when you need it. Found it on eBay. Mix it with Silk soy milk blend with ice. Hands down, it is the best tasting shake in the world--better than any shake drink I tried at Jamba juice or vitamin stores. I drink a little sometimes on Chemo, perhaps one small shake every 2 weeks, but only when I dont feel like eating at all. I really dont have a weight loss problem, but a few days between Chemo treatments I dont zero desire to eat, and this keeps up my nutrition and energy.

I am surprised to hear that you are loosing weight on hormone therapy. Most gain weight.
