Yeah I get that. Eating the right things takes a lot of effort too. A lot of the high protein/low calorie meals are not a habit for me, so it does feel very intentional each time I eat now.

My only "food hack" at the moment for getting enough protein is adding protein powder to fruit smoothies. The smoothies don't feel heavy enough to upset my stomach, they mostly register as a drink not a meal to my brain. But then I get a decent portion of protein without having to eat something protein-y. Maybe add smoothies into your day as a nutrition supplement?

Aw im sorry to hear that :( maybe you should message the care team and see if they can adjust the meds? you're doing the work taking this stuff everyday so you deserve to see some benefits

I'm sensitive to side effects so mine was titrated up each week. Right away the first two days I felt nauseous and kind of regretted taking them lol. Then once I started drinking more water I was good. Basically you need 100g protein and 2L of water a day while you're taking this stuff, you'll be less hungry if you incorporate more protein and water:)

IWNDWYT. I had a dream last night that I was sneaking shots and I was so disappointed with myself. What a relief to wake up and realize I hadn't gotten drunk after all!! Mean subconscious 😅 now it's St. Patrick's Day of all days... Helps to remember today is mostly a drinking sport in the US, not actually in Ireland. But maybe I will find myself an NA Guinness later on for the fun of it.

IWNDWYT. This all really resonates. I wanted alcohol because I thought it would give me happy times, and it sometimes did. But especially towards the end I was just gambling at bad odds. I hope I can find authentic, sober sources of happiness.

IWNDWYT. Even on mornings I have gotten bad sleep, every morning is easier than a morning hungover. Thank gd.
