So im very thin. I weigh less then 100 pounds. I've lost some weight recently which isn't good I don't need to be losing weight. So I got a ton of protein nutritental shakes the kind they give to folk to make them gain weight yesterday to go with the meals that the group home supplies with the hopes I'd gain weight. Problem is it's expensive. I paid close to 40 bucks for 24 shakes at walmart. I only get 50 bucks a month and the only reason I was able to afford said shakes was cuz I had some money left over from a college grant so the college gave me a check that was over 200 dollars and my mom also decided to randomly give me like 50 bucks as well for some unknown reason(like I said it was random and unexpected). It's not economically sound for me to get more shakes each month tho cuz as I said I only get 50 bucks a month after the group home is done with my SSI. While I don't have to buy but one meal a week nor do i have to buy gas (group home pays for 3 meals a day typically and all that with my SSI) and the only other mandatory expense I have is tolietries and 2 bucks for my meds so I tend to have some money left over I just don't usually have the money to spare to buy shakes every month. Not usually. One staff and I talked about it and she thinks me buying a blender and then making smoothies is more sound economically. It'd be much cheaper in the long run she says. Im not worried about not being able to afford a blender as I recently sold back a college text book to a college and they'll be paying me in a week or 2 around 102 dollars for it. She said she'll buy me protein powder with her own money so I could make them. She's worried about my weight pointing out I recently lost some and can't afford to lose any more and if i were to get sick I'd be in trouble...Does anyone here know any good smoothie recipes? And any good blender brands to make them? Or any other advice on how to gain weight?
This link any use? (And yes that's me in the photo )So im very thin. I weigh less then 100 pounds. I've lost some weight recently which isn't good I don't need to be losing weight.

I have a few health concerns with me being underweight. Like the fact that if I lose anymore weight cuz of of a simple stomach flu I could literally be in the hospital solely cuz of my weight. Most people have a few extra pounds if they get sick and throw up a few times and lose weight they may not need to worry about their weight making the sickness worse and possibly their weight placing them in the hospital.@RayofLight....
My advice (which is only for your consideration)
is to eat a good diet with enuf calories, & be
un-concerned with being under-weight. If you
have good nutrition, & plenty of energy to be
active, adding weight is unnecessary.
Again, this is just something to consider.
I don't know all the concerns you might have.
Aye, tis good to take your doctor's advice over mine.I have a few health concerns with me being underweight. Like the fact that if I lose anymore weightbcuz of of a simple stomach flu I could literally be in the hospital solely cuz of my weight. Most people have a few extra pounds if they get sick and throw up a few times and lose weight they may not need to worry about their weight making the sickness worse and possibly their weight placing them in the hospital.
A doctor once told me being too underweight can sometimes cause problems worse then being overly obese. Im not looking to be much larger just enough that I dont have to worry about losing weight when im sick. Obviously i still could go to the hospital if i were sick and had more weight but i want to have enough weight that my weight wouldn't make things extra worse if i were to be sick.

Yes I think and i plan on going to one again soonCan your doctor recommend a registered dietitian or nutritionist? Insurance may cover that...
