Hi Anon,
Thank you for your question and Welcome to EmpowHer!
Believe it or not, most people complain about the rapid weight gain following a total colectomy. The best way to gain weight is the slow but sure route. What have you tried? A well balanced diet is essential-- Have you scheduled an appointment with a Nutritionist? If not, your best bet is to have your physician refer you to a Nutritionist who will tailor a well balanced diet fit for your needs.
Hope this helps,
Rosa
