I am too thin, need advice

I researched and discovered that something you should look up about Lyme Titer because it affect the heart rhythm. Here are two links:

Lyme Disease: Questionable Diagnosis and Treatment (Read 2nd paragraph)

lymephotos


It has a lot of information on google. It made me uncomfortable to read them, but we have to take care of our body against the diseases.

My two friends always went to McDonalds/Burger King for a long time. They had a stroke due bad food. They got all better now, and they NEVER go to any fast food restaurant since two years. They learned a big lesson. They are about 35 years olds.

Just don't eat so often, just eat like few in one week then would be okay.

Unless, when people are diagnosed with health issue by doctor then shouldn't eat at fast food anymore, such as start at risk.

I don't have lyme disease.... come on. Only way you can get it is if tick bite you and I'm 100% positive that tick didn't bite me.
Listen to me please, I do not have anything wrong with me no disease, disorder, syndrome, infections, nothing. All I have is innocent heart murmur which mean I only have heart murmur in one valve out of 4 and it simply doesn't close all the way. And it is common birth defect and it is not serious at all.

So I'm healthy as miniature horse (cuz tiny)

All I want is to gain weight to have some curves and fit in clothes better not having to go to 50 stores to find size 0-00 that fit me and isn't too long or baggy on legs

Not sure if you read all what I said above so I'll repeat one important point.
I'm healthy. Clean of any disease, disorder and syndrome ok? All I have is common and minor birth defect

I am sorry. I didn't mean that. I just thought that you might check that out. That's all. I read the information on the link which got me attention. I had a blood test for tick which came out a positive so I had a lot of antibiotic iv when I had my heart surgery last year. I had a bad cut on my hand from installing a green wired fence in my one acre backyard. A tick landed on my clothes, and it climbed to my head. I overlooked at my body for ticks after I finished my project. I have no way to know which one that caused my heart infection. I was so sick and lost a lot of weight. I was not able to walk enough as I felt that I carried a dead body on my back - too weird. It's good that you are tough as a horse. Smile.
 
Why don't you just join a gym? Try it for three months, and I am sure you will see benefits. :)

Maybe, maybe not. I have been told all my life that when I hit my 30's my metabolism would slow down and I would start to gain weight.......20 years later I'm still waiting and still weigh 97 lbs. LOL! The bad part is trying to find clothes that actually fit and are age appropriate!

I don't really find eating boring, and I love to cook, though. I just eat small amounts because I get full quickly. But 2 hours later, I'm eating again. I can however, forget to eat if I am busy and involved in something...but a headache usually reminds me that I need to stop and eat. I've been that way all my life.

LOL. I wish I were like that. I used to be five pounds under weight. Then I started gaining weight in my early 20s.
 
Hey I am here to help you and when was the last time you see your cardiologist. The last time I went was Sept 2006 and I dont have to go back for 3 yrs that mean Sept 2009. I do have 2 open heart surgery and sometime I feel my heart skip a beat that is only because I was worry. So every one who have heart condition or heart murmur are different. So my suggestion is to see your cardiologist every 1 to 3 yrs. Yea that is sucks.

As for your weight. Try not to worry but to find out why you are have such a problem. I hope the doctor find the diagnosis for you soon. My prayer is with you.
 
Have you went to GNC.. They have weight gain supplies.. Go there near you and tell them about your problem trying to gain some pound... they will explain you how to gain and what to take... while I was in high school I weight 125 I was so skinny for my age... I'm 6"0 tall now I weight almost 215 how?? I went to GNC and took their advice... everytime I eat small food full fast.. I force myself eat whole and let my stomach stretch once a while... until my stomach starts to stretch and eat more.. Now I look a lot better now.. It has been almost 3 yrs gain from 125 to 215... it takes time... now i hope you will find your way into eating better... ingore your mentally limits you can eat more than you think.
 
Okay, now this is one I can def be of use in. KidsHealth has a section of the site called recipies for teens with cystic fibrosis found at : About Recipes for Teens With Cystic Fibrosis

Since people with cyctic fibrosis suffer from malabsorption and very often have low appetite, all of these are very very high calorie (we're talking 1200 calorie single-serving chicken dishes)

Second, buy scandical (I suggest getting several containers at once) and use it religiously- scandical is an absolutely tasteless powder you can sprinkle into just about anything, and it adds 35 calories for each spoon. Pasta, soup, jam, drinks, whatever. If it's even slightly liquidy, it'll work. it can be purchased online at Axcan Pharma Inc. :: SCANDICAL

Third, sip on high calorie drinks instead of cola or the like: your local store will probably have "ensure" or "boost" or "pediasure" type drinks which tend to be between 200/300 calories per serving, which is significantly more than most sugared drinks, and has a much much greater vitamin content.

Forth, and this goes with the above option, talk to your doctor about medical foods with more caloric density than can be found in drug store brands. Surprisingly enough, if your insurance wont dole out for it, Ebay can be a great place to find medical foods- at any given time, there's at least 30 people selling extra sealed tins of Elecare because their child outgrew their allergies, or whatnot.
 
Try a protein or calorie shake?

Check out your local GNC and see what they have to offer.

I knew someone who was severely underfed as a kid by his parents. By the time he was in junior high, he was skinny. He started making those calorie shakes to help him gain weight. It helped. Now, he's in good health... not skinny.
 
It is only way for her to see a cardiologist so that she will hear what her doctor has to say about her health. I hope that it is less serious that she has a heart murmur. I thought that she could eat more food, but her heart has to come first where the original might be the cause. Some people live longer without a heart surgery - this is what I heard from a woman a few years ago.

Off subject: when you go for #2, check if the poops are floating in the water which means good. If they are deep in the water, they are quite not good - but not quite serious unless if blood or unusual color on poops (I don't remember which color could be). That's your information. :fart: Oh, excuse me, I have to go number 2.
 
I still think you should get your advice from a nutritionist who knows your health history. Just eating or drinking high calorie, high fat content products won't be healthy for you in the long run. You don't want to just add plump fat cells and cholesterol to your body. You want a healthy percentage of muscle mass, and the right amount of nutrients (proteins, vitamins, minerals, fiber, etc.) Very thin people can have high cholesterol and unabsorbed nutrients.

Just my opinion. I'm not a doctor and I don't even play one on TV.
 
I dunno what to say. It's odd to hear someone trying to add pounds but couldn't.

I eat like one meal with some snacks and still add pounds everyday, lol.

Mostly because what I eat isn't healthy even though I don't eat 3 full meals and also I need to exercise and I know that. I don't like breakfast or lunch very much. I just usually skip it to supper. Yup, you will still get fat that way.
