How can I gain weight?

[Muhlenberg]

It could be that you actually burn a lot of calories. It could also be allergies; they seem to effect weight.

I don't have any advice because I have never dealt with this issue (I have lots of advice on weight loss, and hmm well I should be listening to myself better, but that's another thread). I just wanted to say hi and give you this

I was trying to PM you earlier! Are you going to Disney during our meet?

 

[Miss Jasmine]

I will be there the 2nd or the 3rd. Due to work it's a bit up in the air. If I wasn't going on a cruise the next week, I would have taken off like Monday (the 5th) to come over.

 

[SamIAm21]

How about a few pints of this every-day??

 

[FroggyinArk]

come on down here silly i'll let ya eat my cookin for a few months. nothing like good southern soul foods to fatten ya up.



(seriously.. good luck. dw was in your shoes years ago, and shes finnally gained enough that she doesnt look sickly, hers was a hormone imbalance that took several years to work out.)

I give my underweight son whole milk and put some Carnation Instant Breakfast in it. He gets this with meals, not in replace of meals. I also make him fruit smoothies with protein powder.

Any side effects from Paxil?

I sent you a PM.

 

[Mike.Wazowski]

Okay, but I don't need anymore in the chest area. I prefer the legs, hips and butt. LOL

hey that is where I have recently gained mine...
lets see...

McDonalds McGriddles,
Hostess Orange cupcakes,
and too much beer did the trick...
oh and extrac omputer time so your doing less physical activity helps too!

 

[sweet angel]

Listen lady, I already offered you as much of my weight as you need. It's all in the hips, thighs, butt, so take it all!!

 

[Briarmom]

Drink more beer.

I'll see your skinny butt in a few weeks.

When I was a kid and skinny as a rail my mother used to put eggs in my milkshakes to fatten me up. Maybe try that? Sounds gross, but its actually yummy.

Silly Me I was the same way only gained weight when I was pregnant. I had a very high metabolism and didn't have enough iron in my blood. May try going to the doctor and getting a multi vitamin with iron that is stronger than the OTC ones. Something like the prenatal vitamins we took while pregnant.

I used to have a real problem if I lost any weight putting it back on. Until I had my hysterectomy. Now I don't have any problem maintaining a healthy weight.

Eating a lot of protein might help also. If you work out, work out before you eat. You will gain muscle.

I did buy vitamins from GNC, but haven't taken them b/c they're horse pills. I wonder if I can cut them in half. Vitamins would help gain weight? Hmm. Never would've thought.

Oh and since your husband offered, I'm coming down and letting you guys feed me for awhile. Can I have alot of biscuits and gravy?

 

[Miss Jasmine]

Well that sucks.

 

[bigbabyblues]

I've always had a horrible time gaining weight. I have only weighed more than 100 lbs twice in my life until now, and I was pregnant both times.

In January, I went on Depo Provera shots, and I've gained 20 lbs since then. I'm not on the shot any longer, so we'll see if the weight sticks around. Other than that, when I was pregnant, my dr had me make a milkshake with Ensure (1 can Ensure, 2 big scoops of ice cream or so, in the blender) every night. It worked at the time.

Good luck!!!

Right now I am having the same problem as you except I KEEP losing weight. The doctor is not sure why. I am smaller than a juniors 0 at this point. I wonder where in the heck I am supposed to by my jeans at now? Besides the fact that I can't keep weight on for anything so if you find a good "resolution" to our problem I am ALL EARS.

Sorry to hear your having trouble.
My friend had the same problem and a endocrinologist solved it.
