Gulfcoast, I'm seeing the same thing. Belly has stopped getting smaller after losing about half of it over first 3 weeks of treatment. A bridge partner touched my shoulder the other day and said, you are getting downright boney. So, I guess the muscle mass is decreasing as everyone says.

Now as for being completely out of shape and only able to run two miles. It will come back, you know it will.

Getting through this, one bottle of Ensure at a time. I'm so tired of the taste of cardboard.
