overweight with CF

[catluvsjpl4ever]

My fiancee recently decided he was going to work his butt off to gain as much weight as possible!! His CF doctors encourage him and stand behind him!!! However his diabetic dr. freaked out at yesterday's appointment when she found out he gained 26 lbs. in a little over a month. I was unable to go but he said they told him he had a number of 25( I assume his BMI) that he didn't need to go over and he was at 24.95!!! It frustrated him because he isn't anywhere near fat he is almost completely all muscle!!! So I don't have any idea what is expected of CFers!!! I think the weight is a good thing because i have watched a cousin with cf struggle to have weight gain!!!

Hey there:

I am overweight and have cf. I also noticed as I got older that if I eat whatever I want or am not active enough that I pack on the pounds too. I have to take digestive enzymes, but a lower dose.

I am PI and stayed a constant weight of around 145#, until I was put on steroids for ABPA. I packed on nearly 30 pounds. I've lost most of it but I've still got some fat around my stomach that I need to get rid of. It's really been hard for me though, since I've always been able to eat whatever I want.

I had the exact same situation as you. I was always on the thin side, ate whatever I wanted, usually got a little too thin when I was sick. Then I got pregnant. I actually had trouble gaining weight during my pregnancy until the 3rd trimester. But I have 7 month old and I'm still the same weight I was when I was 9 months pregnant!

I'm happiest at about 108. Before pregnancy, my doctor liked me to be about 115 (b/c I'd inevitably lose 5-7 lbs when I was sick). I'm now about 128, which is totally fine with my doctor, but not with me- none of my clothes fit! I'm with you though, it's hard to be motivated to lose weight when the doctors are telling you it's fine and you are used to eating whatever.

Anyway, for now I'm just trying to be ok with being a little chubbier than I used to be. I have a feeling that it'll go away in the next couple of years if I lose a couple of pounds every time I'm sick (not that I'm wishing to be sick!). I am also trying to eat a little healthier, but man I still love me some milkshakes <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">.
