Losing too much weight can affect your procrit dose and things like that.  Doses for therapy meds can be recalculated for a lighter weight.  If your doctors have not noticed your weight loss, you may need to bring to their attention, so they are not dosing you too high.  Stick with the high calorie foods; cream on oatmeal, whole milk, butter, ice cream, malts & milkshakes.  I know these are all dairy but there are other higher fat foods, too, like hamburger, avocadoes, etc.  This may be your only chance for the rest of your life to break every rule.  Do it.

I had the same problem with weight loss and was eating high fat, high calorie food.  Didn't seem to help much but I do believe it kept me from losing more.  I lost 17 lbs in 3 weeks and at the end of tx I had dropped 25 lbs.  11 weeks post tx and I've only gained 5 lbs back, although I am eating like a horse.

Like newleaf said make your doctor aware of your weigh loss as your meds may need to be adjusted.

I have lost close to 30 pounds in 13 weeks. Like newleaf said, nows the time to go for it! But just remember - that when you have these side effects - its a good indication the teatments are working.

Ihad the same problem towards the end of tx.  Dr. dropped the Riba, because of Wt. loss.

What does your Doc. say?  Told me to drink 3 bottles of Ensure/day.  Kept enough weight on in order for me to finish tx.

Hang in there I went to 50kg. at the end, have since gained some back.  More healthy appetite I guess.

I had to force myself to eat at times as I had no appetite.  
Try eating smaller more frequent meals.  That might help.
All the best
I hope you can combat this
take care

I went from 58 to 52 and that was no good at all. I wouldn't worry too much, unless it gets really bad. It comes back faster than you know it.  After completing tx it took about 3 months and I was up to 62. It really took me by surprise.
