Work with doctor: Frequent small meals may be helpful. There are medicines that can reduce the nausea and allow you to eat more. Most importantly, work with a doctor experienced in this condition, and ask him if there could be anything else going on, as most patients do not lose much weight with gastroparesis.

Liquid supplements: Since gastroparesis tends to mainly affect solid food emptying, try to add more calories in the form of liquid supplements such as boost and ensure.
