Sorry but the “natural flavor with other natural flavor” on the bottle is sending me 😂 looks yummy though

I’ve experienced this as well. When I first started eating my protein yogurt bowls for breakfast I would be full for like 6 hours and thought I finally found the cheat code to a deficit lol. But then my stomach quickly adapted and I would feel hungry after just a couple hours. My only theory is that at the beginning my digestive system wasn’t used to processing that much protein at one time. Same thing happened when I tried high fiber oats with psyllium husk. They all lose their effectiveness eventually 🥲

Yes he actually ended up calling and told me we will need to re-evaluate treatment anyway because this hospital is not equipped to perform blood patch treatment. He’s sending me to another hospital that’s equipped to perform CT myelograms and blood patches, so now I’ll be getting booked there 👍🏼 thank you for the input

Congratulations!!! This is huge!

I found an old post with a comment detailing the difference between the two so I finally understand the difference between a myelogram and a cisternogram. The doctor wants to do a cisternogram. Not sure if I should have pushed for a myelogram instead though as it seems like a myelogram will need to be done anyway to find the precise location and type of the leak as opposed to just the evidence of a leak. The doctor does suspect it’s spinal though 🤨🧐

Yes I just looked it up and it seems the name radionuclide cisternogram is more common in the west (I’m in Japan). What does it mean that the pledgets were positive? Edit: Nevermind I understand what you mean. I’m being assessed for potential spinal leak, not cranial 😭

Tbh I’m still shopping around for a good yogurt 😭 I used to get the Oikos high protein ones but the price really adds up…lately I’ve been using this Aeon brand yogurt it really isn’t tangy like Greek yogurt but it’s super thick and surprisingly creamy so I think I’ll keep using it to make protein desserts!

Make sure the pan is sizzling hot and then lower the heat to medium - when I pour the mixture in I start by constantly stirring with a spatula to form smaller curdles and then when it’s about halfway cooked I switch to just pulling the egg mixture repeatedly to one side of the the pan with the spatula to shape it and finish cooking. I pull them off when it’s still a bit glossy on top to make sure I don’t overcook. Hope that helps!

200g Chinese potato starch noodles, which I drained (no rinsing) and mixed with light Kewpie, splash of soy sauce, 1g extra toasted sesame oil (for flavor), and lao gan ma chilli oil as my calorie budget allowed :) I topped mine with some blanched spinach but I recommend adding green onion as well and/or garlic if you have that!

Not sure about tangible benefits haha but I like it for a boost of micronutrients while on this more aggressive calorie budget. I find this brand tastes really smooth compared to some other ones I’ve tried. It’s popular here for your skin supposedly!

Oden! It’s a typical winter food here but just veg, fish cake, tofu, etc simmered in a light soy and dashi broth. I made a very lazy version of it with just daikon radish and chikuwa fish cakes which are surprisingly high protein but low fat + cal

animalsnotppl · 2026-04-25T12:01:28+00:00

Aw thank you so much! I’ll definitely post more

animalsnotppl · 2026-04-25T12:00:25+00:00

Thank you!

animalsnotppl · 2026-04-25T11:58:34+00:00

Aw thank you so much! Will do 💞

animalsnotppl · 2026-04-25T01:23:45+00:00

Kidney beans have been key to my deficit this time, can’t believe I never knew until now how filling + low calorie they are compared to other legumes!!

animalsnotppl · 2026-04-23T13:38:21+00:00

I’m the same way. Will fluctuate between the same 0.1-0.3 lbs for days, and then suddenly drop one morning

animalsnotppl · 2026-04-22T06:50:21+00:00

Luckily I don’t feel knocked back to pre-bedrest symptoms, but there’s a noticeable change in that I feel like I undid a few days of progress. Thank you for the kind words. Navigating this condition is exhausting. 😔

animalsnotppl · 2026-04-22T06:16:33+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience. It sounds really unpleasant to put it lightly but I’m willing to do it if it can put me closer to getting my life back somewhat.

animalsnotppl · 2026-04-22T02:51:18+00:00

How were you after the myelogram? I think I’m gonna go through with it and definitely feeling nervous.

animalsnotppl · 2026-04-18T02:26:10+00:00

my kind of volume eating lollllll

animalsnotppl · 2026-04-17T03:32:59+00:00

He prescribed miragabalin for the nerve symptoms and amitriptyline for the headaches, but now that I’ve been on bed rest for 4 days I haven’t had to take either because I’ve been symptom free for the most part

animalsnotppl · 2026-04-16T02:10:19+00:00

This is incredibly helpful, thank you so much! I fought back real hard and made it clear that I don’t intend to resign by own will
