Weight Gain Issues - Need Help

On average, we can loose 20 pounds of body weight during a bad flare, less for mild and moderate flares. During my worst flare I was almost skeletal (loosing 17 pounds in about 3 weeks time), you could see my vertebrate and ribs, and I was down to my high school freshman weight (except I was now in my 30's O_o ).

You can only regain weight when you-re 90% healed or more, an 2 bms a day sounds like you might fit that description. Essentially it is eating a lot more calories. Having larger portions of meals, having snacks between meals, etc etc. Try and keep the eating healthy and nutritious as you lost a lot of that stuff while flaring badly. I ate a lot of pastas, breads, potatoes, and other carbs. I ate a lot of whole yogurt and drank whole milk. I was able to regain 12 pounds over a period of about 6 months time, by following that regiment. At first I was able to regain 1/2 a pound every 2-weeks despite eating like a horse. The weight gain accelerated as I healed more fully. I kept working out lightly at my local gym to make sure I was regaining muscle mass as well (as you loose both fat and muscle mass during flares).

Enjoy it a little, go out to eat with friends and order the most sinfully delicious desert on the menu and eat it all by yourself (like chocolate lava cake with chocolate ice cream) while they look on with astonishment. It's fun being able to eat whatever you want to eat, and not worry, because you're trying to retain weight ;-)

It's possible, play the long game, and be patient as it will take time to regain it all. I got a few more pounds on me now, as extra-flare safe to loose weight haha!

Try using MyFitnessPal app. You may not be eating as many calories as you think.
