Article on Weight Gain Due to Medical Reasons

That's scary Jack. If you don't mind me asking how much do you weigh and what is your height? I am 5'10" and weigh 160lb. How do you calculate BMI?

[Jack]

Use a calculator such as - Food Standards Agency - Eat well, be well - BMI calculator

I'm 6ft and only 106lbs. I used to be over 200lbs !

Oh my goodness Jack. That is quite thin.

[pberggren1]

My BMI is 22.9.

[Jack]

Yes, perhaps I could become a Super Model.

I probably already have all the nutritional information I can handle and have tried lots of different suplements. The fact remains that if food gets stuck in your throat when you eat and then you have an upset stomach for a couple of hours after a meal, food looses its appeal.

22.9 is realy good. Well done!

LOL I thought you were a super model

Jack, you are a super MODEL!

Jack, you're definitely a super model. Just stick to the catwalk, though okay? No more Hollywood entrances down stairs.

[pberggren1]

Thanks Jack. I am very concerned for you.

[Jack]

Don't be too concerned, my weight has been stable for a while now so although I can't seem to put any weight on, I think it is reasonably under control. At least it made the nurse's job easier while I was unable to move in hospital.
