I have lost 25 pounds since diagnosis - I think the main reason is depression and a lack of smell/taste. Food just doesn't look good, almost unpleasant reaction to food. One of the joys of life is gone. I used to enjoy shopping, cooking and eating. In a message dated 03/17/13 2:01:41 A.M.

There are several reasons cited why weight loss is said to be common in PWP, depression, slowness, social situations, gastrointestinal difficulties of all sorts. I myself have lost about 50 lbs since diagnosis, and I do have gastrointestinal issues all the way down the line, if you will. My weight has leveled off at 170, which is just about as low as you want to go if, like me, you're 6'5".
