How To Gain Weight?
I want to gain 6 pounds before my wedding in May 28, 2011, I currently weight 155lbs and when I purchased my dress I was 161 and the dress fitted perfectly, now it isnt because I am under stress. Could drinking an ENSURE with every meal help with my weight gain?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Weight gain can be achieved by increasing your calorie intake and decreasing your energy output (activity and formal exercise).
Increase in calorie intake means increasing the energy intake from your food and drink.
This can be done by : (1)increasing the portion of your food
(2)increasing the frequency of meals by using high calorie snacks between meals
(3)adding dressing/oils/butter to the meals to further increase calorie value
I hope this helps
