I want to gain my weight back. I lost 40lbs due to stress and depression and have had no appetite.

How are you feeling now? How is your appetite now? Did you put in your information on MFP so it gives you a set calories to eat?0

Thanks yes. I keep coming out short 1200 calories and dont want to eat after 9 pm.0

Are you doing any exercising? Even brisk walking will help increase your appetite, encouraging to eat more. And it's good for the soul.0

We need more information. What are your stats? Age, sex, previous weight, current weight, goal weight, height, training history, current maxes (i.e. squat, bench, deadlift), experience with working out / dieting are all information we require to give good advice.
The simple way for weight gain is: Calculate TDEE on google, eat +500 calories over that for 1 lb of weight gain per week. Lift on a pre-existing program while doing that to put on more muscle than fat. You have to have a myfitnesspal account and track EVERYTHING you put in your mouth (weight your food and log it!). Underweight people overestimate how much they eat on a day to day basis and visa versa.
Cheats: -liquid calories (make shakes, whole milk, olive oil are all high calories and easy to consume) , avocado, spreadables (almond/peanut butter), snack on nuts, etc.0 -

This.
Also, if you need ideas of higher calorie foods to aid the process, you can find a list here0 -
Thanks, i am very physical due to the duties of my job. However at times i lack an appetite and when i do i burn calories faster than i can put the weight on. I also have stomach ulcers and high blood pressure so I have to be extremely careful of what i eat .0

why don't you want to eat past 9pm? I eat well up until the minute I fall asleep every night.
Also are you currently on any medication in order to help with the stomach ulcers? They can definitely make keeping food down a real challenge. I've been there and was prescribed Tecta for them, it made a world of a difference.

Dr oz says not to eat after 8pm and I pushed it to9pm. Yes I take a med for the ulcers,its definitely hard to keep any food down without them.:)0

First rule of the gaining forum is ignore dr oz0 -
Dr Oz is full of it. Eat when you want.0

I eat literally up until midnight most nights. I haven't gotten fat, nor have I encountered any health issues. Last checkup was 1 month ago and everything's great, when I've been following that practice for over a year0

It doesn't sound like you have dealt with the depression. That would be the best place to start.
I am pretty sure Dr. Oz wasn't trying to give any advice about gaining weight. If your MD tells you to avoid eating in the evening in order to help your medical issues, that is a different issue all together.

Op, dont make silly restrictions based off a tv show host. It is not founded by any science and only will make it more difficult for you0 -

He was laughing at my correction to his statement.
If you get heartburn from going to bed shortly after eating, that is a good reason to not eat a few hours before bed. But your metabolism is on a 24 hour loop and can effectively process calories regardless of time of day.0
