Re: Need to gain weight....

[ Edited ]

I'm 5'3" 106 lbs soaking wet.  I spoke with my doctor about being thin.  The most I ever weighed was 119 when I was 9 months pregnant.  I gradually lost and back to my regular weight between 106 and 109lbs.  He suggested extra mini meals between three regular meals.  I work, so it's hard to make breakfast in time before I go out the door. So I eat lots of yogurt, toast with sliced cucumbers on top (buttered) & cereal.  Since my BMI indexed is considered normal, technically I'm not underweight. But I am thin and so far looks like I'll always be thin.  Both of my parents were tall and thin.

Okay, Dr. Tinkrbl44 prescribes a small dish of ice cream several times a week.  

 

Since a doctor prescribed this for you, it must be okay.  lol  Woman LOL


@Tinkrbl44 Good morning, Dr! 

 

Just wanted to clarify that I do not think your recommendation of ice cream was not a bad one!  Not sure that showed?

 

My son recommended the same one and I even bought the ice cream.  Didn't taste like I thought it should!

 

Ate better yesterday and so far today! 

 

Using non-dairy nutritional drinks extra, not as a meal, but as an additional meal!

 

Thanks for your input!
