I've been trying to gain hard for 2 month's..I've gained 20 pounds but the gainning as slowed so much im nearly loosing weight even tho im consuming 5000 calories a day and my activity hasn't changed.. I read before that I should crash diet for a day or two to kick the gaining again. Has anyone any experience in this...also I feel full all the time even I haven't eaten.

It's practically screaming at you to stop abusing it.

Weight gain is a marathon, not a sprint. You gained 20 lbs in 2 months. That's a lot. Your body can only process so much at a time. For now, focus on maintaining that 20 lbs. Your body needs to be able to handle all that extra weight.

You are also messing up your digestive system big time. If you aren't careful, you'll get severely backed up and need to go to the hospital.

Slow down.

Doctors advise gaining about 1 or 2 lbs (approximately 0.5 kg and 1 kg, respectively) weekly. If you keep gaining at this rate for an entire year, you gain about 52 to 104 lbs (23.5 - 47 kg) in a year.

You've been gaining about 10 lbs a month for two months. That's about double the rate doctors recommend. Plus, let's not forget the bigger you get, the more calories it takes to grow. So, realistically speaking, it's impossible for you to gain large amounts of weight consistently for an extended period of time without making yourself sick.

You need to take breaks and need more than a week to recover. I'd also recommend you reassess your weight gain strategy. If you keep doing things this way, you will make yourself too sick to gain much more than you've already gained.
