Need help regaining weight after surgery - any suggestions?

Topic Explanation:
The original poster is seeking advice on regaining weight and strength after losing 30+ pounds due to surgery. They are currently consuming Boost and small meals but are looking for additional suggestions to help with weight gain.

Advice and Insights:
1. Drink protein drinks, take vitamins, and eat anything you can tolerate. If needed, medicinal THC can help with appetite, pain, and sleep.
2. Consider adding ice cream to protein drinks to make milkshakes for added flavor and calories.
3. Use loperamide (diarrhea medication) with meals to slow down digestion and improve nutrient absorption.
4. Try Carnation Instant Breakfast drinks, Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites, and Zofran for bad days, and as you start feeling better and exercising more, your appetite will improve.
5. Consume high protein powder like Spruteen mixed with milk and other ingredients for breakfast and regular meals.
6. Consider medication like codeine to slow down digestion and improve nutrient absorption for maintaining a normal weight.
7. Marijuana can help with appetite.
