Suzanne, do you notice that most food is promoted as a way to lose weight and there is not much out there that is nourishing and palatable to help you gain weight. I knew this was a problem when my husband was post-Whipple surgery for a duodenal tumor and we just couldn't find high calorie foods that were nourishing and didn't turn his stomach. For almost a year he ate a steady diet of spinach quiche which we had to be careful of because of the coumadin INR levels and noodle tetrazzini with chicken broth but not chicken. He was prescribed Marinol after a fight with the insurance company but couldn't take it anyway. I never had bulimia and I don't feel I am depressed but I will admit to GAD. I worked my way back to 119 lbs as of this morning and will keep on track. I got Gala apples at with my grocery curb delivery this morning. Neighbor said to try some peanut butter on it to up the calorie. A friend who had mouth cancer radiation and couldn't swallow kept herself from losing further weight by drinking high test chocolate milk. This does not seem like the road to recovery but if I can reclaim an appetite and some weight maybe the GAD will ease up. I listen to you tube meditations daily re gut/brain and they are soothing. I like rice too but it can be cloying without the nice spices to go with it. LOL! M.E.
