@A MyMyelomaTeam Member Deb, like me, you're dealing with our situation on your own. Makes it more difficult, of that there's no doubt. You should find a gym that offers senior exercise programs that have classes with a good trainer. You just have to get motivated, easier said than done, but it is the first step. Once you get started, it becomes like an addiction. You will look and feel better. Believe me, you'll think less about our situation and more about getting back to living.
Not everyday comes up roses for me, but without my diligence for exercise and proper diet, there's no doubt in my mind, there would be more thorns than roses.
YOU CAN DO IT!
Are you taking any probiotics, prebiotics or yogurt with live cultures? It might helped to get your gut healed and able to absorb nutrients.

Remember the the song with the words in it; "I'm still standing, yeah yeah yeah"....?
Wow! I need to lose 30 lbs but I have little success. I’m trying to lose 2 lbs a month because 10 months post transplant my hem/onc does not want me on any kind of weight loss plan. I am on a Mediterranean diet. When I am traveling for work this is a little bit harder.
Before finally diagnosed I lost lots of weight with the pain (was down to 47 kg) and after diagnosis and with pain gone I struggled to put on weight. After 4 years am at 58 kg. Am fine with this and am just on maintenance with Lenalidomide - no SCT. Being a healthy weight is so important.
