Dear Mimi
I think it is time that you have a medical checkup to see what is causing you not to gain weight and also why you vomit after using Ensure (possible milk allergy?). Also do consult a clinical dietitian (visit the Association for Dietetics in SA Website at: www.adsa.org.za and click on "Find a Dietitian" to find a dietitian in your area), to help you figure out why you fail to lose weight and to prescribe a diet that assists weight gain.
Take care
