Trying to gain weight any advice?
What about my Twinkie? Where's that Twinkie now!
But seriously, good luck with getting where you want your weight to be. I have no suggestions but I'll be reading the answers and doing the opposite.

V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
Lee you forgot Pie ala mode! Warm Apple pie w/ homemade vanilla icecream!!! LOL
I had to gain weight to have the surgery, I was 260 pounds and being almost 6 feet, I wasn't considered obese enough, so I told the surgeon to make me an appointment for a month and when I got back 1 month later I was 315! So I feel like I am an expert in this area!
And by the way.....it was the best month of my life!!!!!
Be careful, because you don't want to start gaining and can't stop! I would look in to somekind of protein shake that builds muscle!
God knows I wish I had your problem!!!

I'm sorry that I for got to mention that. My current measurements are 5"4 @ 132 pounds. I get a lot of compliments from men and women saying I look really nice but they dont see what I see and that's my bone showing in some places, I have no breast anymore and I have a little lose skin in some places also. I need to gain weight not much 10-12 pounds
You have me worried looking at your surgery date and I'm already having this issue at less than 2 years out.
I am 5'10 and weighing in now at 152 which is too small (I not only feel my hip bones but SEE them now not cute) I have also beeen trying to add weight but although muscle wegh mroe than fat it also loos slimmer than fat too so I may gain 10 lbs of muscle but could look like I actually dropped 5 lbs because of the way it will sculpt my body.
I've now been a little lax on my meal plan and although I have stopped losing I haven't managed to gain AND like another poster says its a dangerous game to play because although I want the scale to move as soon as I see 160 on the scale I get nervous and begin to follow the rules again because who's to say you can stop at 10 lbs?
I def would like to gain about 10 lbs but if it happens itll happen but I' satisfied as long as I dno't get any smaller.

I am 5'4 weighing 132 and yes I also feel my bones in some places. I do go to the gym and work out at least 4 days of the week different body parts each day. I just start so it will take time to get to where I want to be. But I really want to gain a little weight NOT much but at least 10-12 pounds. I can even see my neck bone showing i dont like that
