[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why would you gain weight on HRT? I thought it is the other way around and you would lose weight and get more energy. I am supposed to start it soon and now, I am scared. [/quote]

Some lose, some gain. I gained on bc so I assume I'd gain on HRT. Not chancing it, but fortunately my symptoms are mild so far. Trazodone has addressed most of it well enough.[/quote]

I’m losing weight on HRT which I don’t want to do. Before menopause, I had a high metabolic rate and had to work hard to maintain weight. That rate was slowing down prior to HRT, my cheeks looked fuller and my face looked youthful. I think the HRT has reverted my metabolism to what it was and my face is looking gaunt and I’ve dropped two sizes. But it’s helped me with sleep and digestion and brain fog do I don’t want to give it up. [/quote]

How old are you and what is your weight before and now? [/quote]

53 now. HRT for 8 months. Pre menopause I struggled to maintain 128-130lb for my 5’10” height. Right before HRT I hit 135lb easily looked better and more proportional and had to pay attention so I don’t overeat. Now after 8 months I’m struggling to keep it at 125. Eating nutrient dense food every 2-3 hours to stop the slide, strength training etc. [/quote]
