So I am almost 10 years in remission now! Right on. But lately I am really struggling with my weight. When I am naturally small. But lately I don't even look healthy. I try to stay at least 105 lbs but these last few months I am down to 95 lbs and haven't changed any of my habits. I have an appointment to see my oncologist because I don't know what else to do. Just feeling tired a lot lately and keep losing weight. Any suggestions? I think i have tried everything from ensure and trying to eat more than i should. I dunno, maybe i am just worried over nothing. I dunno if anyone knows of anything to boost my energy and gain some weight my ears are open!

First things first, YAY for ten years in remission. Now on to the small worries.
PrestonI can't say i've had much problem maintaining weight, however I have had trouble gaining in the past. I will list the supplements I take on a day-to-day which helps me keep up my energy and weight. Some may sounds weird but just trust me.
1. Zinc
2. Omega-3 fatty acids, fish oil, alpha-linolenic acid. (This comes in a gel tablet and helps regulate cholesterol in the body.)

3. Vitamin B-Complex (Major energy in a pill, b-complex is very important vitamin for energy)

4. Horny Goat Weed with Maca
- Now this may sound weird, trust me I thought the same thing when I was introduced. However, now that I have started taking this stuff I can tell a huge difference in how I feel. Its awesome stuff! I could tell you all about it but follow this link to read more.

I would talk with your doctor before taking any of these vitamins. This is the combo that I have found to work best for me post treatment. As far as the weight gain goes, have you tried a commercial weight gainer?
Muscle Milk by GNC is by fair the best. It is not just for your muscles but it has been found to help your body over all with healthy, natural gains.
All else fails....chow down on some BP&J before bed time. Let me know if all this helps!
