Wish I had that problem! I keep putting weight on!

Too early for me to tell if the PE meds will affect me one way or the other. I've heard some people gain, some lose. I've just lost a bunch of weight, so hoping to keep going that route, just a little bit longer anyway.

Do you feel unwell? There are a few things like thyroid that can affect weight. Maybe worth mentioning to the doc next time you see him/her.

Hmm... I've lost about 17lbs since starting warfrin but I've also been exercising. I'd like to think it's because of that but who knows! My doctor says that stress can cause weight loss too and we've definately had our share of that! I'd be interested in what a few more people have to say.

Not necessarily feeling unwell, but definitely more fatigued than normal. The fatigue has always been there since my PE in December, but has increased these last few weeks. I am a little surprised because I have been emotionally feeling more at peace in my life than I have in years.

@TossNTurn - Yeah! I was gaining weight in the beginning for a few weeks and just feeling sluggish and then all the sudden I couldn't stop losing weight. Now I am overeating all the time and still can't seem to put any weight back on! Not that I necessarily want to, I have been wanting to lose weight for years, but definitely a little worried about what health implications this has.

i lost about 20lbs in the first 6 or 8 weeks then stopped - gradually i have put some of that back on (about half). mention it to your dr the next time you go. i think its all the sitting around thats made me put some back on.

I initially lost weight after the PE, probably about 15 lbs. I was quite happy about it! After a while though, maybe 3-4 months, it started creeping back up again. Have no idea why I lost, or why I started putting it back on however. A combination of things I suppose.

If it is concerning you though, I would definitely ask your doctor about it.

One more thing, I know you have had a great deal of stress/life changes lately (aside from the PE) and that can play a huge role in things. For instance, when I started going through my divorce a decade ago, I lost about 25lbs. I didn't feel majorly stressed ( especially when compared to how I felt after the PE) but nonetheless, it was there. I had not changed any big habits to speak of, but still happened. So perhaps, it is just everything you have going on at once.

With Stress, my abdominal surgery and PEs I have lost 40 lbs since September. My normal "gain weight quick" or at least maintain weight strategy is Ensure shakes, but unfortunately they have so much Vit. K they're a no no right now. I am feeling very fortunate I had some weight to lose, otherwise I'd be an even bigger mess!

I agree with Jean about the impact of divorce upon weight. I lost one and a half stones within a couple of months despite eating and drinking as normal. The stress really does impact upon your body. Unfortunately, during the two months since my PE I've put on over a stone! A result of an unusually sedentary lifestyle and something of a problem as I start to pick up my exercise routine again!

@Jean1014 - It is reassuring to hear that you lost weight after your divorce even if you didn't feel suer stressed. That is EXACTLY what I was confused about. I mean, of course there is sadness in the death of a long relationship, but I am overall less stressed than I was in the relationship....so I couldn't imagine why I was getting my sexy back! LOL

Still feeling fatigued all the time....anyone got some good suggestions for that?

Things that help me combat fatigue:

-scheduling time for a full night's sleep
-taking exercise breaks throughout the day (10 minute walk when I start to fall asleep at the computer)
-avoiding sugary and processed foods

Do talk to your dr. if you continue to loose weight without trying.
