Muscle loss for sure right? Are you exercising and lifting weights regularly?
I have been meaning to get some tiny weights and build some upper body strength...
Well idk how long you've been out your job but I spent about 3 months purposefully not workong out my upper body on estrogen and I lost eh maybe 10-20% of my strength. I lift upper body 1-2x a week now and lower body 2 times a week and my strength has stayed level. So it's not gonna be so so fast. But I do notice differences.
Honestly? My guess is you just aren't eating enough. It comes down to calories in vs calories out
I just checked and I have apparently gained 10lbs since last night, that feels like a lot for day to day variation but Idk...
Is it an actual requirement to become a DYEL gym rat on estrogen??? I knew that it privileges lower body musculature over upper, I did not know it was going to obliterate my physicality wholesale over the course of a decade and worsen my chronic pain.
And yes I am eating less, it just seems weird that I can fluctuate so much and it makes no visual difference
10 pounds is quite a bit but like, it can be explained by say, water weight, food, clothes, and general variation day to day. But yeah depending on where your chronic pain is, it can def make it worse :/ I have neck pain that I am definitely very aware of and actively taking steps to maintain muscle to avoid the pain returning.
If you want to track your weight though you could take an average over a week and use that as your average weight, and compare week by week
