I have to gain weight!!!

So I went to the doc yesterday and..well to say the least he wasn't happy with me...he said I have lost weight too fast (along with no getting in my protein or vitamins....yes I know its important so I don't need email lecturing me I need to get it in) but anyways he said I need to gain 5lbs and start getting in my 60g of protein before he will even concider doing the abdominoplasty for me.....I don't even know where to begin to start gaining weight....any suggestions?? As far as my protein goes, Ive come to find I can tolerate the Isopure (has 40g of protein) even though it leaves a funky after taste....thinking of adding some sugar free kool aid to it....and I can tolerate Achieve One mocha java (20g of protein) buts till don't know where to start to gain some weight.

Hopefully once you start getting your nutritional needs met your doc will calm down about the number on the scale. I too only really tolerate the isopure. This is what works best for me. In the morning, I take 1/2 cup of milk and mix in ONE scoop of isopure. Let it sit for a while (5 - 10 minutes) and it will dissolve better. The smaller amount goes down quicker and easier. Then I do the same later in the day. Sometimes I will puree some frozen strawberries or raspberries into it, but only if I have the time. I take my protein like medicine, not food. I've heard others like those coffee tasting AchieveOnes but I've never tasted them. I imagine they might kill that flavor as well. Good Luck! Julie 330/312.5 at surgery/196.5/159

I suggest you go see a nutritionist. He/she can help you select better choices and give you some ideas. I see mine regularly and love the support. -Laura 284-181-170 5'11"
