hey guys its going to be a year since surgery in March and to be honest, I think im too skinny now, ive always wanted to stay at 160 lbs but some how ive managed to get down to 146 and it kinda scares me that no matter what i do i cant seem to gain weight. im a male 22 years old and stand at 5'8. my job consists of light walking trough out the casino floor.and occasionally moving some slot machines around....anyone have any suggestions to try and pack some weight back on on me i feel like some weak kid now

  • Sounds like you need to enjoy some Ben and Jerry's from time to time!

  • cheese, potatoes, starches, carbs...all the things you used to avoid. Drink your calories if needed. Go to a health food store and they can give you Protein to bulk up. PLEASE, talk to your surge

  • Carbs, carbs and more carbs. : P Also, I noticed where you are still very young. I know you want to stop the loss and gain weight immediately, but I'm guessing with age, like most of us, that meta

HOLD THE PHONE!!!!

ok i try not to disagree with people since we are supposed to be supportive to one another, but i have to say this... please DO NOT START BAD HABITS NOW!

You obviously had the surgery because you were overweight which mean early on in your life you picked up a bad habit. eatting ice cream everyday is not gonna be a good habit to pick back up. You are young and so im sure right now you have a higher metabolism than most, and because you are active at work its probably keeping it that way, but with age your metabolism will slow.. trust me, and if you pick up these habits now you will most likely wind up gaining weight that you did mean to later on.

my suggestion to you is start hitting the gym and doing strenght training, weights, bells, circuit training, obviously you don't need to really do a lot of cardio, but this way you can pack on a healthy weight because of muscle gain instead of fat weight from high sugar content. take in a good amount of Protein to help build and recover muscle before and after training.. most of the guys i know that wanna pack on muscle to gain weight injest between 60-120 grams of protein a day depending on your activity level.

I just really wanna caution you on eatting fatty, sugary foods to gain weight, because its not the type of weight you want to put on.

good luck to you tho.
