My weight gain journey: from 107 to 130. A THREAD
Backstory: I’ve been 110-114 growing up through high school and college which was still small BUT after my pregnancy I was breast feeding and wasn’t eating enough for two which caused me to lose weight. I dropped to 107. Skin and bones LITERALLY... want to lose weight? BREASTFEED
Quick Tip: I also would have problems with postpartum depression and anxiety. So when I wasn’t feeling too good, I would shutdown and not want to do anything, including eating. Didn’t have an appetite. To gain and maintain you must stay positive, force yourself to EAT.
So since I didn’t have an appetite. I started taking apetamin. Which is a weight gaining supplement that helps increase your appetite while decreasing your metabolism. It definitely works fairly quickly BUT I wouldn’t advise taking it too long. It’s unhealthy
bought 3 bottles. Each bottle for $18 and lasts you about a week. took the apetamin for a week and maybe 2-3 days, so I used a bottle and a half. Gained 10 pounds in that time frame. Then stopped because I’m not sure if the apetamin was putting me in a mood(a side effect) or me
By the way, it does make you drowsy, but it’s not unbearable. I was able to stay up and fight through the drowsiness.
So I’ve seen many reviews of people losing the weight after they stopped and after I stopped taking it I felt like my regular self again. I hopped back on the scale thinking I would’ve lost too but Nooo I gained 5 more pounds because I was still eating as if I were still on it
I haven’t been eating unhealthy at all. My diet contained a smoothie of serious mass (1250 calories) everyday plus 3 average sized meals and a Gatorade protein bar everyday as a snack. Each meal consisted of green veggies, lean meats, bread/potatoes/rice, fruit. Egg for breakfast
If I don’t take the serious mass, I make sure to take ensure 2 times a day. The serious mass runs for $32 for the 6lb container and $49 for the 12lb. I bought the 12. And my Apetamin came from JDS Department Store. Both Ensure and protein bars from Walmart
Though I’ve reached 130, I want to see 150 because it looks real nice
