Hi there Ger - I hope you are healing well after your stroke. That was really bad luck!

When I was trying to stop losing weight, initially, rather than add in additional foods, I tried to just make my portions a bit bigger, concentrating initially on protein, then on the fats.

Frustratingly, it can take a little while to get the balance about right.
