Can't put on weight - HELP! | The J-Pouch Group

Does anyone have any tips for putting on weight?

I have always been slim but was a stone heavier before my illness started in 2000.

I don't drink alcohol, caffeine or smoke. I try to eat as healthily as possible yet I always stay under weight.

I have done the usual things like eat little and often but to no avail.

Make a smoothie using ensure, a banana, and some peanut butter. Drink a couple of them a day.

think protein. Make sure that you are eating lots of protein and every one of your meals..meaning 5 or six meals a day.

thanks, I'll try upping my protein. I feel very bloated and then not hungry for hours after I drink milk or have peanut butter so I can't really go for the shake

try getting rid of milk. Also reduce your sugar intake. For example, most peanut butters are full of sugar. Try a natural peanut butter with no sugary additives.
