You know what Cindy? I bought some of that mega muscle stuff too with "Weight Gainer" written across this huge plastic gallon tub. It hasn't helped me gain an ounce. When I seriously tried to use it, my body dumped it out either end. Someone on this very forum told me that it was one of the drawbacks to the protein powder, especially the "weight gainer" stuff.

I've been trying to eat stuff like cheeseburgers, fries, ice cream and last night I stuffed myself with cheesecake BEFORE going to bed. My Chinese radiation oncologist even suggested eating ice cream before bedtime (so I've taken that a step further to just feast in general and making sure I brush my teeth before passing out into sleep) Even with this sort of schedule of eating, invariably my body still wants to reject it. I'm getting use to getting up at three or four in the morning to run into the bathroom.

I'm trying to be patient with the weight gain these days. As long as I continue to eat and enjoy doing so, I'm hoping that sooner or later I'll be like others here and have to start cutting back on the calories. Others have also told me that the metabolism changes and may take years to kick back into normal gear again.
