It's worrying that you have been gaining weight even though you don't have a big diet. This might be caused by different kinds of reasons such as hormonal problems (especially thyroid) or metabolic issues. It is great that you have done workouts, however, if it causes you pain, don't overdo it. Starting with basic exercises like walking or swimming is a good option. A balanced diet including more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can also act as a medicine. If the weight gain continues, see a dietitian for a safe and healthy evaluation and guidance.

Side effects of bariartic surgery
Female | 47
Bariatric surgery can have both positive effects on health and potential side effects. The specific side effects can vary depending on the type of bariatric surgery performed, but here are some common ones:
Surgical risks: It includes infection, bleeding, blood clots, and adverse reactions to anesthesia.
Nutritional deficiencies:It impacts nutrient absorption and lead to deficiencies of iron, vitamin B12, calcium, and vitamin D. These deficiencies may require lifelong supplementation and close monitoring.
Dumping syndrome: Can occur after gastric bypass surgery, where food moves too quickly from the stomach to the small intestine. You may experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and rapid heart rate after meals.
Gallstones: Rapid weight loss after bariatric surgery can increase the risk of developing gallstones.
Changes in bowel habits: Some individuals may experience changes in bowel movements like diarrhea or constipation, after bariatric surgery.
Hair loss: Temporary hair loss or thinning may occur due to nutritional deficiencies or rapid weight loss. This is usually temporary and can be managed with proper nutrition.
Psychological and emotional changes: Bariatric surgery can have a significant impact on body image, self-esteem, and emotional well-being. Some may experience depression, anxiety, or body image issues post-surgery.

It is completely normal to want to increase weight; however, shots are not the solution. If you feel sick or unintentionally lose weight, seek medical advice immediately. Rapid loss of weight might be due to stress, sickness, or an underlying medical condition. The doctor will guide you on how to gain weight safely and healthily.

You might often feel weak or get ill frequently; the problem could also be related to difficulty trying to build muscles.

It's natural to feel concerned about your weight, but remember that everyone's body is unique. It's important to focus on your health rather than comparing yourself to others. Visit a nutritionist or a dietitian who can guide you on a healthy diet and lifestyle.

Which vitamin is best for gaining weight
Male | 18
Gaining weight can be supported by maintaining adequate vitamin D levels. If your body is low in vitamin D, it may struggle to gain weight. Signs of deficiency include tiredness and frequent illness. To boost your vitamin D, consume fatty fish, and fortified cereals, and get daily sunlight exposure. Keeping your vitamin D levels up is essential for healthy weight gain.

I need to lose weight without exercise what do I do....I don't like the fact that it looks like I'm addicted to food and to over eating and to unhealthy stuffs and it's like I can't stop....
Female | 20
Trying to lose weight sans exercise feels tricky. An unhealthy attachment to food, mainly the not-so-good options, grows common. Excessive intake causes weight gain. Feeling unable to control your eating qualifies as a symptom of overeating. Root causes could stem from emotional eating habits, boredom, or stressful situations. To improve, practice mindful eating, monitor portion sizes, and swap in healthier edible choices.

How to reduce lower body fat??
Female | 20
To reduce fat in your hips, thighs, and buttocks, eat fewer calories than your body needs. Excess calories turn into fat.

Female | 21
Weight loss supplements can be tricky, especially for those suffering from OCD and neuro medications. Products have the potential to enhance one’s current medication, resulting in reactions that are not only unpleasant but also annoying. It’s preferable to try healthy nutrition and consistent physical activity to control your weight. Consult your doctor for a diet plan that is tailored specifically to your problems and situation and your health condition.

I don't gaining weight ( really tired of myself) and I'm a footballer too...
Male | 20
If you feel tired and don’t see any increase on the scale, it could be that you’re not eating enough to fuel your body. You should eat more calories than the average person because of how much running around you do on the field. Make sure to have a lot of carbs, protein, and healthy fats in each meal so you get all the nutrients necessary for good performance. Consider creating a menu with a nutritionist that supports your energy needs.

Female | 21
You might notice things like feeling drained, weak muscles, and a lack of hunger. This could happen for many reasons like not eating enough grub, having a super-fast metabolism, or even a health issue. To gain weight the right way, try loading up on more balanced meals packed with nutrients. Snack smart between meals too. And don't forget to move your body with some light exercise - it'll help build muscle.
