Need help...lost TOO much weight, how do I gain some back??

Thank you everyone for your replies.  I will have to see Dr K again since the nausea/vomiting isn't getting any better.  I have tried small high carb foods, and am still nauseous afterward, and sometimes throw them up.  At this point, I can't even keep my protein shake down for more than an hour.  It feels like I am digesting SUPER SLOW.  If I throw up at night, even my breakfast is still in my stomach.  This is why it's so hard for me to keep eating...I still feel full or I'm already nauseous. 

I will look up that medication though and discuss it with Dr. K

Hugs to all of you!

Carbs may help or they give you diarrhea which would make things worse.  There is an Rx medication called Viokase which is a form of Creon but seems to work better for DSers. Talk to Dr. K and get some. You may be able to go to the drug manufacturers website and get help with the costs.

Good luck!

Increase your carb intake, but make it good complex carbs, like fruits, veggies and whole grain foods.  Kashi cereal in the REd box ( the original) is my go to for breakfast and snacks...and there's 13g of protein in it to boot!

To piggyback on leanonme's suggestion, Viokase is great.  I had to use it when I was early out, but then it became unavailable for a while in the US.  Creon was the replacement. I never switched back, because I didn't know it was available again. 

Either one works fine for me, but Viokase is just a teeny bit better! 

Note to self:  talk to Dr. about switching back to Viokase!
