Hi Maureen,

Like Rod, my husband Ron is also trying to put on some weight. He's not having much luck yet either, although he looks like he's gained some, but the scale shows no change. From what I've learned here, I think it's just going to take time. I know eating a lot of meals throughout the day is good, and Ron can't stand the taste of Boost either. I don't know if you have a store called Whole Foods in your area, but we buy Soy Protein Drinks from there in various flavors that Ron really likes. If it makes Rod feel any better, he's not alone in this "trying to gain weight" issue. Good luck and tell him to keep eating and be patient!

Take care,

Shelley
