Underweight...

Hey everyone. I am sorry it has been so long since I have been around. I am doing fine except I have lost too much weight. Has anyone else had to struggle to keep weight on? I have been trying really hard to maintain at 140 lbs and then I dropped another 10 lbs. This puts me at 18.1 for my BMI and I look like a tall skeleton. I feel fine, I have enegy, skin tone is good, and I never even lost any of my hair. I did go back and see my nutritionist in December and she advised me to begin eating 5-6 times a day.. essentially "grazing".. I try, but it is hard to keep meat down so I am finding that I only want to eat soft foods and soups.. Any advise??

Oh how I wish I had your problem. But I don't. If you have a hard time with meat, are you drinking your shakes? Maybe you could add Ensure? What does your Dr say? Nona

I'm really thin now, too. I'm 5'5" and weigh 118. I would have never thought I'd have a waist less than 25" I eat good......about 5 times a day. I prefer softs and liquids, too. (I have some small gallstones, so I avoid dense proteins until the doc decides if the GB needs to come out or not). I probably get in about 6 dairy servings a day. I feel great.....labs are good. Hair and skin tone are good. My excess skin is moderate.......I just look terribly skinny. My surgeon said it's possible I could lose even a few more pounds before my 18 month post op time.........I can't imagine. Glad you are doing well. LuvitsunnyV
