I think 48kg is about 105 pounds. When I would be recovering from my surgery, my doctor would have me drink protein drinks to get my weight up.


Here's a page that might help give you ideas:

Also visit your local health food store. Best to talk to your doctor and ask for suggestions. Make sure you find healthy ways to add pounds rather than eating junk food.


Good luck! :)

My son is 4 now, born with a cleft lip/palate. He is so skinny but I don't worry because my husband and I are very thin as well. I have been so skinny that I have tried to gain weight many time. I tried to eat a lot but I would gain nothing. As stupid as it sounds, I have been drinking ENSURE Plus drink everyday. I drink one in the morning every morning Monday - Friday and I can tell I am gaining weight. I don't know if you can find this drink but they sellit at grocery stores. And it tastes great, especially chocolate flavor. I am now gaining weight. Maybe you could try if possible.

I realize that this is an old post and that you may not have visited this site in a long time. What's your diet like? Have you tried digestive enzymes? Do you have any mercury amalgam dental fillings? The mercury can interfere with the body's natural enzymes and cause you to be unable to properly use the nutrients in the foods you eat. Have you been tested for celiac disease or experimented with removing gluten (in wheat, oats, rye, barley, spelt, triticale) from your diet? I was very thin from mercury poisoning (82 lbs when I normally weigh 115) digestive enzymes, lots of avocados (healthy easily digestible fat), and having my mercury fillings safely removed using proper protocol helped. I also went on gluten-free diet though I was never tested for celiac disease. Zinc supplementation may also be helpful. I read, write and speak Spanish, so if you happen to read this and prefer to communicate in Spanish that's fine.
