Re: Weight loss?       04/20/04 05:58 PM Edit Reply Quote hslib Reged: 11/23/03 Posts: 55 Loc: VA I know the feeling. I lost a lot of weight since the fall b/c my IBS got so bad this year. I've seen a gastro dr. and had tests run, but everything points back to the IBS. I can't eat dairy so it's difficult to find things that put weight on. Bev's suggestion about calories is right on the money. I went to see a nutritionist through our hospital, and she suggested six small meals a day. She also emphasized some type of protein with each one. Starches were also important. She said I would gradually gain, but for me gaining is really difficult. I would say I am maintaining at the moment. She also suggested I start lifting really light weights to put on some muscle weight. Good luck. I am trying to gain as well and it is a daily struggle. I quit getting on the scales b/c it was too stressful and depressing. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
