awe sugar I can so sympathize with you. I just changed schedules myself. I worked a night shift driving the city bus. So in addition to not being able to heat anything up, I didn't get a chance to eat a regular meal either. I did a lot of tuna and cold salad type things. And I had to learn to eat luke warm meals from a thermos.. I wish you luck, I had to change my schedule to be able to try to get the right nutrition in. If you figure anything out let me know, cause there is no guarantee that I will be able to keep this schedule past 6 months so I will be right back in the same boat. Good luck. Try doing your bigger meal in the beginning of your shift when you can get it kind of hot from a thermos, and then do Protein meals the rest of the night. stop eating when you reach a "sevenish" time on your schedule. Those late night meals will kill you! Figure out what time your bedtime is after your shift and treat that like your time point.. If you got off like a normal person and went to bed at 10 then you would stop eating at 7... if you get off at 10 and go to bed at say 12 or 1.. then you shouldn't eat past 9:30 or 10. Again.. good luck!

I make chicken salad with pineapple, or lettuce wraps with healthy choice sliced buffalo chicken, sliced cheese, guacamole, cucumber, Tomato, wrap it in parchment paper and then clear wrap. It's yummy!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
