Weight gain!!

I am currently 11 months post op and sitting at 56kgs and pre op I was 102kgs. I find that no matter what I do or what I try I can’t stop the weight loss and I’m starting to feel and look unhealthy. Has any had this issue and tried any shakes or supplements to help gain a few kgs, because my food consumption is so low there is no chance of myself gaining a few kgs back that way

Have you tried to increase your good fat intake? Perhaps adding some flax seed oil or avocado to shakes or smoothies. Fatty fish such as salmon, calorie dense foods such as nuts.

If you are eating three main meals a day, do four perhaps or increase snack portions.

Are you currently eating low or no fat items such as yogurt, milk etc? If you are then switching back to the full fat varieties could be a good place to start. You won't be eating any more and if you find you gain too much its easy to switch back again.

I’m lactose intolerant, so other than soy or lactose free products I don’t have much else, I feel as though my calorie intake is just so low, I understand our portion sizes become much smaller but I feel as though I’m a new born child with how little my body can handle

Start eating high calorie foods, fruits, breads, starches. If calories in = total calories burned, then you won't lose weight. Have you talked to your nutritionist about this yet?

Lots of lactose intolerant people can tolerate whey proteins isolates, because isolates are highly filtered to remove lactose. It's the Protein Concentrates that lactose intolerant people REALLY want to stay away from.
