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.

Not without trying. I changed the way I eat and have lost 7 pounds.

Yes :-)
I have lost 45 pounds since starting Tamoxifen, however, I have incorporated diet and exercise and more water. I call it the fear diet - fear of cancer returning and do anything so it can't. I eat a lot healthier, but enjoy food a lot more. I don't crave the bad stuff nearly as much. I wish I didn't have to try, but I do. Good luck.

My sister
took Tamoxifen for 5 years and didn't gain any weight. She is quite thin so I don't think she lost any either. Don't knock it, be happy :-)
