Hi All
Looking for some advice,male,25, 5 foot 7
Over the last 12 months I have lost quite a lot of weight, I was 14 stone, I am now 9 stone.
This was due to an intestinal ulcer, and plenty of stress/depression over this period, I kept losing weight over the months, and kept having stomach pains due to the ulcer, but I kept ignoring it.
finally, after losing my appetite fully, living on a tin of soup a day I went to the docs, had every test/camera going, turns out I had an ulcer in my intestine that had blocked/swollen exit from my stomach to my intestine, this was causing me to vomit every day after meals - hence I went the docs.
Anyway, medication has sorted the ulcer and I am 90% back to my old self, appetite has come back, no vomiting e.c.t
now...........I was always a few stone overweight previously, so i dont want to put all the weight back on, I want to use the bad experience as a positive and advantage because now I am thin,I need to put a few stone back on, but not all of it.
obvously because I wast trying to lose weight, and wasnt doing any weights or exercise the weight has just come off anywhere, my problem is I have lost an incredible amount of muscle, I am really scrawny now, but still have quite high body fat, ideally I want to get a good starting diet, but I want to pack on some muscle, but also lose the excess bodyfat, i have have slightly loose skin in some areas.
any ideas on the above? want to use my now thin frame to get really ripped, cut the bodyfat, but hod do i ensure i dont bulk up or go fat again?
i also need some strength, my body is very weak.
any advise on vitamins that can be taken after illness/malnutrition?
