Queen B. Your clinic should be able to connect you with a registered dietitian. They will be able to help you💓

A little humor heals. Everything time my husband takes dex. he wants to watch reruns on the TV in the living room. So I go to the the bedroom upstairs and watch my shows. It took me a while to figure that the living room is close to the kitchen where the ice cream is. And all the food is in the kitchen. Gained weight of course. So I buy low calorie and healthy snacks. Doesn't always work.

Wish I had that issue. I’ve steadily gained weight since I’ve been on Dex. I don’t think Ben & Jerry’s help 😂😂😂

I can't gain weight either...was on mostly the same meds as you, QueenB (except the valtrex). but different dosages. Dex made me ravenous...but did not put any weight on - though I was constantly eating on Dex days. We shall see now that I am on Revlimid only if that changes things.
