I have probably lost 10 lbs. I have not changed anything of my eating habits. My Doc. said to expect weight gain. I am waiting.

    So far I've lost 7 lbs.
    So far I've lost 7 lbs. since starting tamoxefin last Feb. Part is the drug, part is eating less (almost none now) processed foods, eating more fruits and veggies. Some days it seems all I do is eat but it's the fruits and veggies so alls good.
