Weight Loss
by skinnyminnie, Jul 20, 2005 12:00AM
Hello, I am a 30 year old female. I am worried about my weight, I am approx. 5'5 1/2 and I weigh 120 lbs. About 9 months ago I had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted and had a horrible recovery where I couldn't eat anything solid for about 2 weeks. Before then I weighed 130lbs and I am now at 120. Everyone says how skinny I look and if I'm eating. I do eat at least 3 meals a day and sometimes snacks in between. My concern is that, is this a healthy weight for my height? And how can I get back to my previous weight a healthy way? My weight was always steady and I felt more comfortable at 130. I know this must sound crazy with today's world where people are trying to lose weight but I am having a problem gaining weight. Any suggestions? Thanks.

The hard part about gaining weight for some people is that our bodies have a set ideal body weight and yours is now set at 120lbs. I myself am 20 years old and have weighed the same since I was 16.
The only way to gain weight is to consume excess calories every single day for a couple of months. Make sure though that you are getting some benefit from the excess food and not eating cake or doughnuts.
Being underweight without a mental disorder is rarely talked about in the medical community because most people see it as being healthy.
I would just google underweight and see what comes up.
I have same problem just like you. I have tried medicine and it was quite helpful.
I have tried xenical for this. http://www.epsdrugstore.com/weight-loss-xenical.htm
