Loss of weight

I have completed 20 weeks of Pegasys and Riba.My weight was 69kg when i started the treatment for HCV genotype-3,now it's 62 Kg.Is it normal?

It is not uncommon to lose weight during treatment. I lost about 10Kg during the early part of my tx, I have recently put a little weight back on, probably because of inactivity.

I too had lost weight early in my tx, about 15kg.
Just about to take shot 45 and my weight has leveled out since the start.

I dropped a few "kilograms" at the start, then gained all plus some of the "kilograms" back.

I hate gaining kilograms. Pounds feel so much lighter.

Hehe, anything with a "1000" in it just plain feels HEAVY doesn't it?

Are you eating the same ?  Or are you saying the meds are messing with your appetite ?

I'm like you.  I've gained fifteen pounds since I was diagnosed in April.  One of my symptoms was a rapid loss of weight. I'm glad the weights back.  6'2" and 165 lbs was to skinny.
