My weight has been fluctuating A LOT. Dr. Moore pointed that to me today. I was 140 (with clothing) at diagnosis and I was 153 (with clothing) July 28 2011. Today, August 1 2011, I was at 147 (with clothing). Since, I they always weigh me with basically all the same clothing on - the 13 pound variance is not due to that.
Although I am active, I'm not nearly as active as I was prior to diagnosis when I walked the Mine Hill in Mackay, Idaho daily and either shoveled snow or did yard/house work. However, my resting pulse prior to diagnosis was around 56 or 58. Now, with multiple myeloma on board, my resting pulse has zoomed up to 71. So, I'm burning a tad more just resting. My diet has been pretty varied since diagnosis thanks to Jani and Robbyn who cook dinner almost every night with a protein and veggie. I doubt seriously that ANY of those added pounds are from calorie intake. So, that leaves GI (gastrointestinal) and GU (genitourinary) retention and variability as the culprits.
