gain 20 lbs.

Saw a new doctor today since my current one is nuts..this guy is awesome and feels the way i do about healthcare..using complementary stuff first and THEN resorting to medicine and he very much wants to get me back on track with my weight gain…maybe this is the start of truly getting/feeling/being healthy again :)

I have been avoiding some health things for awhile, so, the next two weeks..I’m cleaning house. Got an appointment with a new hopefully not so nutty doctor to find out why my dramatic weight loss of 30 lbs has not started to pack on again. ( I lost an unintentional 30 lbs before I finally found out I had to have my gallbladder removed..not by the help of my nutty doctor who thought I looked great at 92 lbs..I WAS a healthy 120 lbs). Saw the eye doctor today and am getting new glasses and sunglasses..after not seeing one for almost 9 years! (Luckily everything is healthy and not TOO much change in my prescription).(Geez, I forgot how much I HATE those drops that make your pupils dilate for like 5 hours and any smear of light blinds you)! But feeling good about possibly working towards a solution for my extreme weight loss and why I am not putting it back on..of course, I’m not trying as hard as I should, either.

So yetserday i spoke with a nutritionist type at a local health food store. Beleives my can’t-gain-wieght-proble is because my body is used to the current 92 lbs I am at…mentioned “Homeostasis”, (which I vagely remember in Science class in between blowing up test tubes which i did weekly). Anyway..I will be purchasing some sort of “Weight Gain” product that will add 900 calories a day along with my own calorie-inducing diet. he says I could gain a pound and a hlaf a week. Yup. Gonna try it.

I need to find out why i am having a problem gaining weight. Yeah, I know, most would LOVE this problem. But not when you only weigh 92 lbs after gallbladder surgery. There was a question about thyroid right before and during this mess and tests were inconclusive, although taking my temperature under my arm was always low, which suggests that. Anyway..gonna talk to my nutritionist guy and see what comes up..of course I have been told by my mother’s doctor that my metabolism is all-sorts of messed up because of my dramatic wieght loss. Hm. Working on it.

Gained 5 lbs..15 or so more to go! And it’s only been 8 days since surgery. Woot woot! Guess when your body is so starved for fat, it sucks up mac and cheese and three brownies with reckless abandon.
