Hello everyone! I am looking for advice on gaining weight. Since my surgery (6 months ago) I've gained back most of my weight but am about 6 pounds shy of my normal weight and would like to gain at least 5-10 more pounds. I am 5'8 and only about 106 right now, so I feel way too thin.
A lot of weight gain advice on the internet isn't super helpful to someone with a jpouch. "Snack on nuts and dried fruit" isn't gonna be applicable to me. Haha.
I am vegetarian, moderately active and becoming more so as I continue to feel stronger, and I eat regular meals and try to snack in between--though honestly my appetite is not quite where it used to be, so I think I consume less per meal. I try to eat a balanced diet and don't want to feel unhealthy while trying to gain. I know I could just eat bread and pasta and cheese and sweets all the time--but I don't think that'll make me feel great overall.
What have your experiences been in trying to gain weight back in a healthy manner? Thanks in advance!!
