I don't ordinarily post here but this was the first message in my feed. Huneypie, you're eating soft foods, lots of foods that will slide right through. Try denser stuff. It will fill you up better.

Thanks, the fish for lunch isn't all that common, but my breakfast is always mushy, so I'm gonna add some tuna in oil and see I how I do with that... maybe some hard boiled eggs with mayo for brunch.

I think I'm going to have to give pay food consistency more attention.

 

[Elizabeth N.]

Both of those are still very soft options. Think steak, raw veggies, etc.

 

[huneypie]

For breakfast? This is going to require some thought. I could probably handle left over chicken stir fry.

Bacon, eggs, sausage, cheese, meat...... Though in fairness, my usual first breakfast is Greek yogurt with seeds and nuts and a sliced banana.

OK, what I'd call a full English breakfast. Thanks.

You've done really well today. Re the shakes, what sweetener does it have? Splenda/sucralose is well tolerated by most DSers.

Very nice. How was the Quest bar?

 

[Taterweight]

Took me all day...they are chewy! But it was good and sat well - better than shakes are for me.

I don't really understand what goes on in my tummy in relation to the shakes, TBH. The whey isolate shakes started bothering me a few weeks out and I didn't realize they were the culprit for a while until I did an elimination diet. Isopure was bad for me always, I would be running for the bathroom (and I don't run unless there's an emergency!) about 2 hours after drinking one. I thought maybe it was the sweeteners so I did unflavored for a while and that still had the same effect. I started doing egg white powder a few months ago and it took me a while to find a way to make it palatable, so I wasn't drinking it everyday, but once I started drinking them everyday, I'm started getting some gurgling and gassiness again. I actually stopped about a week before I posted my lab results and got flustered when it was recommended that I include at least 2 shakes each day to boost up my protein. That's why I've been doing a quest bar and a shake, I cannot tolerate 2 shakes a day.

The extra weird part, is that I can tolerate the ingredients of the shakes in solid form just fine. I can eat eggs all day with no consequences and I can eat the protein bars with whey protein, and they have splenda/sucralose too! Is it possible to just be sensitive to protein in liquid form? My stomach makes crazy noises while I'm drinking the shakes, like the loudest gurgling I've ever heard or felt. I dunno, I find it perplexing.

Is it just whey shakes? Have you tried egg or soy based shakes?
