Yes, I have, they're thrilled and want me to gain more weight, but I don't think I'm comfortable with that. My diet is pretty restricted but, I've found a balance. I wish I could have more leafy greens and fruit, but there are a lot of them that I'm not allowed to eat. Before I got sick my normal weight was 145lbs. Then the cirrhosis set in and I ballooned to 170. Lowest weight was 76lbs at my worst in the hospital. I was mid 80's upon release and am now 98-102 it varies. All of my labs come back great, and I hadn't had a period in 5 years pitying me at 35 years old and 150 lbs. I thought I was done, because my mom went through menopause around 40. Last month it showed up again, meaning I must finally be healthy enough to produce it. I dunno, just strange questions. I know everyone's experience is different. Thanks for the follow up, though! And, thanks for your input with your experience @chickytina Be well and God bless!
