I don't know how much a astone is, I lost 10 pounds right after surgury,and I need to lose about 10 more.My doctor said excerize to get shaped up. If anyone can tell me anything eles I would love to hear it too.

Over the years I have gained 70 pounds which is like 35 kilos. I lost 20 pounds right after my surgery and 2 months after I started gaining it back. I crave suger..sometimes I think I could just eat it straight...I don't have any diabetes or insulin probelm so my doctor says "Just stop" ...I feel like such and addict. I am working at it. I have also tried PT and at least i am on an exercise plan. counting my calories helps and reading anything about health etc helps to. I really fight the negative thoughts. I use to do triathlons etc... so it is has been ahrd integrating who I was, who I became and I guess now I look forward to who I will be...mctrjt

I did yoga,keepfit classes,deep water exercises,not so deep water exercises,you name it I did it but the more I did the more weight I put on and my feet were growing this shows how silly I am I thought the exercises were stretching my feet.This was all before being diagnosed.I am drug option at the moment and have lost weight and my hair is thinner so hairdresser says which is a big yes for me I was a size 18 now I am a size 14.The thing is I sure acromegaly seems to know our weaknesses I so love sweet things and chocolate is the worst.So I am now reading a book called superfoods to see what can try and help stop these cravings.I think medication can help if its doing its job of blocking the gh but I think its also other factors we have to look at but yes my drug did help.Anyone want my six boxes of chocolate I got for my birthday lol

thank you for comments everybody is different but the same issues apply to all.... ive tried eating properly i actually had a dietician.lol
14 pounds is a round a stone so imguessing i have put on around 70 pounds. excersize ive been told not to over exert myself as i get tired easily and everything starts to hurt so much i have to take paracetamol..i feel like there is no way out but i know that the doctors are doing what they can. hopefully once they can get my levels back to normal, apparently the weight should fall off at around 2-3 lbs a week which would suit me fine.
i have countless books and i have to say weight watchers helped before i had my youngest son. i only lost 7 lb but it made me so happy so i think i might be trying that again. slimfast diets...i would advice a no no. it makes you feel so hungry all the time and there food isnt exactally great!! thank you so much for your advice. keep going as i think many ppl have stories etc. x x

ive had the surgery and radiation.and while on radiation they gave me some steroid pills.before all of this i was 180pounds.during the year following radiation i gained 100pounds nomatter what i did to try not to gain weight i did.my main food while on radiation was ramen noodles because thats the only thing that didnt make me sick.but anyway there is a drug called topamax.its a depression medication but also helps you to loose weight.ive lost 20 pounds so far hopefully more to come. best of luck to you.let me know how you are doing with that.

been to the doctors and i wieghed myself there, since i last saw them about 4 months ago. i have put on half a stone( 7 lbs) so im still going up. im now trying the slimfast diet as i need to loose weight to get in to my wedding dress. i have only 7 weeks left now so im on a challenge!! lol
but the next time isee the doctor i will ask about medication and if they can give me something to help.
thank you for your advice. very helpful
