I, too, am becoming bedbound and finding weight maintenance a problem. Do you think that eating acidic foods like orange juice and grapes would help? Do you do anything special to keep from gaining weight? Do you have someone, such as a dh, to help you? What are your other heath concerns or interests? I am finding that it is not too easy to eat and type at the same time, so that working these forums is helpful to me! Would enjoy corresponding with you! billie '
