Hello and thank you for your question.
Your hemoglobin is dangerously low. Your doctors need to determine why that is and only then can a treatment be suggested. Usually with a hemoglobin that low you would need a blood transfusion.
Gaining weight can be difficult after a gastrectomy. Te best way to increase your calories is to eat small high calorie meals frequently during the day.
I wish you the best,
Dr. Robinson
