Weight Gain

Hello!
While I'm not necessarily new to myfitnesspal I am new to this side of it. I've been using it on and off for years, but have never really incorporated it into my everyday life. Now that my goal is to lose 55 pounds, I'm using it consistently and am loving it. I'm intermitting fasting, working out 5 days a week, and am…
Will going over my macros speed up my weight gain?
To make a long story short, I reverse dieted after a very long and restrictive diet and accidently ended up losing more weight in the process, making me mildly underweight by the end of it. Since the end of said reverse diet a few weeks ago, I've been eating in a calorie surplus in an attempt to bring myself back up to a…
Need some support for a chronic condition
This may be a long shot but… Does anyone know of any online support groups for people with IBS? I got diagnosed last year and I’m having a really hard time lately.

Any tips on increasing appetite?
Anyone have any tips on increasing appetite? Mine just isn’t here lately. Like I felt really full today and thought I did really well in terms of eating enough calories. Turns out it was less than 1200, and MFP suggests my goal should be 1800 per day. There’s no way I can cram 600 more calories into my body today, but how…

Trulicity woes
I missed 4 weekly doses of Trulicity 3mg/0.5mL because it's on backorder. Finally, my Dr allowed the pharmacy to change it to 1.5mg/mL because that's all that was available, and availability is spotty for that, too. I was pre-diabetic when I started taking this Rx, and it brought my HbA1c within normal limits. I'm not just…

Low appetite
Does anyone else have a really low appetite? I really need to gain weight and my calorie goal is about 1650. If I eat 1300 in a day it’s enough to make me feel stuffed and bloated. High calorie foods like avocado/nuts/etc. just make me feel worse. Any tips for stimulating what little appetite I have?
