We tend to be too pushy about our weight gain after treatment and feel very disappointed when we don't put on weight no matter how much we eat. I felt similar two years ago when I looked very skinny after treatment. Yet I think it unwise to begin an unhealthy diet just for the sake of gaining weight in a fortnight. The food with high fat and sugar may do harm to our health and taking it in excess leads us to develop other disease. Weight gain is a long term and gradual process. I stuck on all kinds of healthy food and managed to gain back all my weight in 6 months' time.
