I had to gain a lot of weight. Ensure plus I would get. Also eat at least 6 times a day. Can you tolerate certain foods better then others? Things like granola,nut butters,dense breads,healthy oils can help as well. Do you have an underlying bowel or nutrient issues or is it from the med you lost weight? A nutritionist can really help as well.
Hang in there

Sorry it took so long to get back. Yes, I heard from the doctor and he lowered my med to 2 pills a day until I adjust, then to move it up to 3 a day. I have tryed the ensue plus for nine months 3X a day and no help. I already had a colonoscopy and that came back normal. I might try out a nutritionist to see what they can come up with. At this point I feel as if I run in a marathon everyday. My legs still hurt and it is hard to stand for a period of time. My hips hurt and can't take my weight of my body and my legs. I only weigh 90 lbs and NEED to put weight on. Thank you for responding to what I wrote.
