Before my Tx I never had a problem adding weight even riding my bike 100 miles a week. I always watched what I ate but I could just gain pounds by looking at a cheeseburger.
I am now almost 8 months post Tx and I am still 10 pounds light of my pre Tx weight and I just can't seem to gain any weight. I eat 3 meals a day when I only use to eat 2; I eat anything and everything without regard to fat calories; I eat desserts after dinner whereas I never ate sweets before and I can't seem to get back to my pre Tx weight!!
I know some of you are thinking "is he crazy, I wish I could eat and eat and not gain weight" but I am too thin and I wonder if something is not right or is this common?
Anyway can anybody help explain this to me?
