Trouble Gaining Weight

Hi, I just found your posting. I've had similar cases. I am also new at joining MyLot. How was your appointment with the dietition? Nutritionist may be wise to see yoo. When my kidney was failing. I went on dialysis and was restructed of all food and drinks. Very difficylt to deal with. Another period of time I had pancreatitis, which made me even more underweight. Then, what helped me a lot, and I loved, was lots and cans of delicious (hee hee) Ensure! They have different flavors, adn are very nutritious. I had at least 3 cans every day! (Morning afternoon, evening). There are plenty of other drinks too. Brainstorm and write down a list of foods that you like or would like. Best of Luck!

Can you drink milk? How about smoothies? I believe there are weight gain formulations at the health food store that you could put into a milkshake or smoothie. If you can tolerate whole milk, add a banana for flavor that isn't too awfully sweet, if you can't handle ice cream maybe add some ice cubes in the blender and whirl it all up, maybe that would help. I agree that the dietitian is a good idea. Best of luck to you.

of course you want be healthy while snacking, i would suggest talking to a dietician. they will be able to help you the most. short of that what about things like yogurt and ice cream? or breads and pastas?
