Yes. Weigh 93 lbs now! My Dr. is concerned with my lack of muscle mass, so they have me on a high protein diet. I'm exercising as much as I can, which is not a lot. I was very sick for months and not able to walk for a while, So I guess it will take some time to regain my strength. I never was big on exercise, but took care of my mother and father for 8 years. Required a lot of lifting and moving and balancing. That was about 15 years ago, though. I weighed 93 lbs then too, but had some muscle!

@kimestes, are you saying that you were not able to walk for a while? What about now, can you walk assisted or independently?
What kind of exercise have the doctors suggested for you to regain your strength and muscles?
Congratulations on your weight gain!
