How Can I Gain weight very fast? help me as I’m underweight & have stomach issues?

[Sugar100]

Long story but I’m underweight. I have issues eating due to anxiety. End February I stopped eating solid foods as I choked. April I was 84 lbs went down to 80. I was told my stomach shrunk & I barley cud eat anything then on blended food diet. May I choked on liquids food got red purple suffocating face, was bad time & my diet was only mashed potatoes 3 months. Still ate less & blended stuff & stomach still shrunk. June began to eat bread with penut butter daily, & 2nd ensure daily. Then had 4 days I began eat few pieces of pasta in morning. But had stomach issues got sick if I tried eat more have normal portions, bad reflux hiccups saliva drooling, belly tightness. Nutristionist said I only ate 1,000 calories n needs be 1,500. Now end of June I shed more weight & barley have 2 days where I hav less stomach issues no pain, I hav to eat slow small portions every hour though.

My legs have no fat at all & lost weight on thighs butt, calves , my size 0 pants fall don’t fit. My hipbones stick out.

Today I plan change diet. Eat mini sausage patty with half piece bread with butter & penut butter daily for breakfast 9am. Before that 5am drink an ensure then 6:30 eat a baby food like in pear or banana as I don’t eat fruit never. for Snack 11 noon cake, then lunch 1-2pm will try half piece bread again & half mashed avacado, maybe another mini sausage patty. Whole week I can switch to chicken leg for lunch with buttermilk ranch for lunch. Maybe 4pm try small side of beans. Then 5-6pm drink a 2nd ensure but usually only able finish half as I get full.

I can scarf down big meal as I get sick & stomach backed up makes me not able eat rest of day. i need help.

Hey beautiful, I recommend that you get some multi vitamins, i used to suffer of anxiety and I was anorexic too, couldn’t eat more than 1 time a day ( I used to smoke too and my stomach was getting a lot of air and it made weird noises all the time.
I started taking these vitamins called ‘’ A-Z Multivitamins & Minerals 180 Vegan Tablets (6 Months Supply) - 24 Multivitamins and Minerals Complex for Men and Women - UK Manufactured‘ that’s the name on amazon! I get them from there. But you can take any natural - plant based/ 100% natural vitamins, A-Z vitamins + minerals, they’re not extremely expensive and they help a lot. I’ve been gaining weight kinda fast after I started taking them. 2 kilograms in 1 week. I’ve started with 90 lbs - I’m 5’9, now I’m at my goal weight - 130 lbs. I keep taking the vitamins because they’ve had a great effect on my mood and helped me gain muscle ( I only do squats) I went from a board to an hourglass figure in 1 year and a half.

Just keep eating small portions like you've been doing and maybe very slowly, gradually increasd your food intake. Your stomach needs time to recover and you'll need time to reach a normal weight again. As for the reflux, make sure you get that checked.

[Sugar100]

So what happens is if I try eat little more in morning it makes me not able eat lunch. 2 days ago I was able eat most of my chicken leg with cake for snack butter packet and small side beans. Then today I added Nutella to my banana baby food and ate a different higher calorie bread with different brand penut butter and this time added butter under the penut butter. Past days I never added the nutella n butter

[pleasestopthis]

yes, take healthy aliments rich in calories like peanuts and other nuts. Also try to eat protein, you need it to recover muscle mass.
If you want to eat more, do it gradually so it doesn't upset yout stomach.

[Sugar100]

What had protien? Y I feel suffocated during lunch time in afternoon I can only take 4 bites of food that’s it?

[pleasestopthis]

A bit of chicken, meat or any kind of fish like tuna.

You have to do something about the anxiety. See a psychiatrist. You're already eating what you can so I think you should also focus on your mental state. I'm not underweight but I've found out that when I eat large meals my body develops some negative symptoms, so I have to eat several smaller meals throughout the day to feel better. Sometimes I fail but I never give up completely. You should keep doing what gives you results and increase your weight gradually. It's impossible to gain so much weight fast.

[Sugar100]

I’m not gaining a lb it’s so frustrating I’m very skinny

[Sugar100]

What food do I need eat? Find it hard eat whole sandwhich

[alwaysintosomething]

I understand. Write down what you eat and generally the stuff you do and try to find out what you eat when you gain weight and stick to that diet. For example I learned that I should not stay away from white bread because it triggers whatever that's wrong in my body. Just don't give up trying and you'll definitely overcome this.

[alwaysintosomething]

* I should stay away from...

[Sugar100]

I love white bread with penut butter. It just feels anything I eat I don’t gain weight but yet again I haven’t eaten solid food I’m barley eating solid food tiny steps since few days ago. My legs r bones. My x small pants don’t fit they fall. My hipbones stick out

You look fine to me, but I would suggest not overeating. Gaining weight fast is not a good thing regardless of the reason. Diet and exercise is the way to do it. Exercise trains your body to use stored fat for energy. For those struggling to lose weight this is how the lose it, but if you are struggling to gain weight this also trains your body to store a little fat in the first place.

But dont eat unhealthy food. Still have a balanced diet, with perhaps slightly larger portions.

[Sugar100]

Doctor said I’m anorexic? Do u think so?

[Sugar100]

I was told from nutristionist I can’t do workouts at all as I’m severely underweight.

[normalice]

Hm. Well, I'd listen to your nutritionist, I guess. Perhaps just go on walks, though?

[Sugar100]

I always walk. My legs got super skinny. Thighs shredded weight. Butt lost fast too. Hipbones stick out. What will make me gain weight there back?

[Sugar100]

Do I look anorexic?

[normalice]

It's hard to tell with the lighting but you do look much thinner than average. But I've known people who ate like a hippo trying to put on weight but didn't, so my view of what looks anorexic might be a bit skewed.

[Reaperbot666]

if you start exercising with the intend to add a bit of muscle mass. your body will need and crave more intake. don't have to try to put on a crazy amount of muscle. could just aim to tone up and define your body more.

Calisthenics can be done at home or gym and are a good starting point.

[DanoM1]

Best way is to look for a good exercise supplement to gain weight (in myprotein you have some) and actually do exercise. You’ll gain muscle weight like this instead of fatty weight. Not to mention the fact you will feel better physically and mentally too rather than eating 20 mcdonalds nuggets per day 😅

[Marilynjuana]

Hey love, please do consider seeing a nutritionist, they know how to help you. What is happening to you is not normal nor okay.

[Sugar100]

I hav nutristionist appointment til 3 weeks

[Sugar100]

I’m finding my own diet online saw ideas how to gain weight.

[Sugar100]

Was told I’m anoerxic but my issue is from anxiety it’s different.

[MissDawn7961]

try eating - hamburgers with condiments on them , fries and drink Dr. Peppers and see how much weight you gain in a few months time ! do not exercise or run a lot but may be go for a walk some where ! thanks

[Sugar100]

Issue is I cannot eat entire burger I get full with a few bites then feel suffocated, how will I fix this issue?

[Shamalien]

Smoothies and soups. I mean some people r naturally skinny so don’t force it, but try and get your gut biome in order. Id recommend cutting out meat, switching to legumes and such. Pasta is a great way to get lots of calories. Yogurt is good for the stomach and easy to eat.

[Anonymous]

Eat less, but more often. So if you have three meals a day, I would recommend changing that to five or six meals a day, personally I would go for more every two hours or so instead of every hour. Have a good balance of protein and carbs in each of them except for supper. Apart from this, avoid doing to many cardio intense activities, and major thing is you need to beat the anxiety. Studies show that it can affect your metabolic rate in a negative way.

[sheikalana]

You should be followed by a nutritionist or a specialized doctor. There are many unhealthy ways to gain weight however the goal is always doing it in the healthiest way possible. Find a doctor to guide you in this process. Good luck.

[andreasderjuengere]

You focus very much on your weight and food.
But you also mentioned 'anxiety'.
I'm afraid that 'medically' I have no qualified advise to offer. But it could be an idea to also think about your emotional well-being.

[Liasso]

Id say eat very late, and try cabbage, if u eat the leafs it can help incr ur stomach people who do food contests use them as a incr ur stomach diet

[Sugar100]

Do I look anotexic?

[Liasso]

Not yet, but your body seems to be going that way.
Be careful and i hope u'll find something that helps

[scarlett774]

Eat high carb foods and protein drinks, also eat a lot of protein and lean foods

[Sugar100]

Examples?

[scarlett774]

Breads, pasta, rice, quinoa, vegetable, metas, fruits, potatoes. Try premier protein if you want a good protein drink, it tastes super good.

[winterfox10]

You could try drinking nutrient and protein shakes. It's not hard on your stomach, and you'll be able to start adding calories to your daily intake easy enough

[MysteriousDarkness]

You need to see a therapist that specializes in anxiety along with seeing a dietitian, your regular doctor and go from there.

[Archerer]

Start working out, your body will demand food, you'll get fit and start looking healthy!

[COMMODOREII]

Its not safe to try to gain weight fast you need to take it gradually and over time. That way you dont hurt yourself and your stomach.

[asshole_]

I wouldn't call that underweight. You're just not muscular, so it makes it look like you're too thin

[Sugar100]

I was told from doctors to not excersise at all. I’m tom underweight currently. I usually do squats and dumbbell for arms. But now can’t do anything

[asshole_]

Huh, weird

[Sugar100]

I’m very underweight. Not 80 lbs anymore

[asshole_]

Oh, I see

[Anonymous]

Milkshakes and other high calorie drinks. Orange soda is one of the highest calorie sodas I've seen.

[Agape93]

Eat more carbs and protein.

[Sugar100]

Examples?

[Agape93]

Beef, venison, potatoes, fish, corn

[magiusX26]

treat the psychological issues girst

[andy530]

Have you talked to a therapist or a dietitian?
