TW: eating issues I am on a medicine right now that suppresses my appetite a lot and makes me feel sick when I eat. I’m really upset. I was wondering if you guys have any favorite protein shakes or “easy” snacks/ways to get calories?

My doctor knows about my situation and is helping me too. But they haven’t been able to recommend any specific foods/etc…hoping the girlies have better ideas.

I get the cheap protein shakes from Walmart + Dollar tree, stock up on snacks at dollar tree (even if unhealthy, at least you are eating), and I drink a cup of ovaltine milk (chocolate milk with added vitamins) every day :(

If ur rlly just trying to get calories honestly just eat like shit. Try to avoid sugar or super duper processed stuff if u can but like peanut butter on crackers, bread, perhaps a good soup, chips, theres meal replacement protein bars thar are pretty high calorie

i like the carnation breakfast shakes. not super high in protein so they don’t taste bad but still has solid nutritional value. see if you can focus on higher protein and fiber. smoothies might feel lighter in your stomach and you can fit a lot of nutritious things in there

I’m going through the same thing atm. Biggest thing that’s been helping me has been to distract myself while eating. So like watch something or talk to people while eating. Also tiny snacks throughout the day. Set alarms every few hours and eat snacks like nuts, fruits, even chocolate or popcorn. I’ve been just snacking while watching a tv show or movie to get my mind off of it and it’s been helping some! I hope this helps :)

They make protein powders that are juice like. So they are a lot easier to get down.
