I haven't eaten....

[youknowit 11]

Youknowit- I'm so sorry to hear that you are still feeling hunger, are you on an acid reducer? I too indulge every once in awhile, I just wish it tasted better when I did!! Maybe not...because then I might do it more often...lol!! So how does that turkey Jerky taste? I have been wanting to try some.

Yes, I take a Prevacid every morning, and have tried also taking it at night. I'm thinking I might need to step up doing it every night now, that might help me. This is going to sound weird/funny, but the Jerky is a god-send! It really is super-low fat, super-high Protein, and low calories for the amount we can eat. It's a go-to snack/food for me. I love Teriyaki. I know it has a little more in the way of carbs/sugars, but I really don't like the heavy peppered or plain, so I eat Turkey or Beef Teriyaki. Yum. You should pick some up. I like the stuff at costco, and you can buy it in monster big bags, or pre-packaged little bags. The small bags are great for the car or office for a measured amount on the run. :smile1:

Hope this helps, and that you're doing great! :sad0:

Have you ever blended the costco Premier shakes with ice? Anything canned sounds more user friendly than the Protein powder. I always have to worry about what I'm going to mix with my whey Protein Powder. But I was told by my dietician that I can't use skim milk because of the sugars in milk. She says that it messes up the enzymes in your stomach and keeps good things from happening. Have you ever heard that? I don't mean to question her knowledge, but isn't whey Protein a form of milk?

I have and do use skim milk almost every single day as part of the Protein shake I get in during the morning. I use a scoop of Jay Robb strawberry and about 6 oz of skim milk (sometimes up to 8 oz). Nonetheless, the only problems I've found are that sometimes the milk bothers my tummy, by nature I'm NOT a milk drinker or heavy eater of ice cream and such. I did switch to Lactaid milk, non-fat, and it seems to help with that "ugh" feeling... I don't want to say go against your nutritionist, but yes, Whey is a milk protein, and so your logic seems reasonable to me... You could always try mixing your protein powders with Water (not too delish) or maybe a half Water half low-calorie juice? Anyways, wishing you the best! Went through all the same "what if's" and fears you are stating here. You'll do great, I know it! :smile1:
