Re: CHRISTINE ~ New Issue ~ Please Input
I lost 25 lbs during my recent recurrence and am having difficulty consuming enough extra calories to gain it back. You need to consume 7500 calories/wk over and above what it takes to maintain your current body weight to just gain 1 lb. I never thought I would have this problem in life. I used to be able to look at food and gain weight.
I read that Sally Fields had to gain 25 lbs to play the part of Mary Lincoln. She said she used ProGain. It took her 6 months to gain the weight and then 1 year after shooting the movie to take it all off. I researched the product and asked my T-DM1 trial onc if it is OK. He approved and I purchased it on the web. It is much higher in protein than Ensure and I think it tastes better. But it needs to be blended with ice which might be difficult in a nursing home environment.
