so very tired zero energy please help

I have hit the wall or something like that. I am so tired, weak, and have zero energy.  I have tried over the past few days to get some kind of protein drink in and I can't handle any of them.  I tried Atkins Atvantage, grape Isopure, weight wise tropical passion, and a fruit punch bullet.  Oh and I tried the one choco drink that you mix up in the bottle they sell at WW. I've tried mixing them with CL etc.  I wish I was on mushies because I could mix up some of the weight wise chocolate pudding that I got from the store and try that.  Or I think I could handle the chocolate medifast with a teaspoon of PB2 and half a banana in the bullet.  I bought some B12 and did that under the tonque but haven't noticed anything.  Randy said he was starting to worry.  My eyes look bad, really dark circles.  I get mushies Wed but judging by the couple of bites everyone can only handle I don't think this will get better anytime soon.  What did you do?  When does this get better?

Amy, I bought some of the unflavored unjury protein powder to keep on hand. I have not needed it yet but maybe you could try that? If you can't get your hand on any let me know -- I am without a car right now but could figure out a way to get some to you. It definitely sounds like you need some protein.

Amy, I didn't have that problem so I can't tell you what I did or how long it will last. However Dr. Walton is on call this weekend and if this doesn't get any better call 359-2424 and ask the nurses station to have him call you. Have you tried any beef or chicken broth lately? Do you have any of the unjury protein powder? If you do you could make your own protein drink and add some sugar free flavored syrups to it. Put it in the freezer until it is slushie. How about some jello, strained egg drop soup from somewhere besides PF Changs(you said that was thick).Strained chicken noodle soup, or diet V8 splash.I hope you feel better soon. If not, don't hesitate to call, okay.

I am feeling better now.  I do have some powder, how do you make your own drink?  I'm also going to try getting some french onion soup without cheese or crouton and strain that.

Amy, I usually make mine with 1 scoop unjury, 4 0z of soy milk, but you would have to use water until your first week on the soft stage, sf vanilla, or sf caramel davinci syrup. I then blend it in my magic bullet with some ice and put it in the freezer until it starts getting slushy. There are a few other things that I throw in that I wont tempt you with now. Go to www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com . If you haven't been to her website just browse around on it. She has all kinds of protein shake recipes as well as many other good ones.  I'm sure you know this, but I wouldn't try the CHIKE shakes just yet. They are not approved on our list at your stage . Hang in there kiddo, you are doing so good and Wednesday will be here before you know it. Please PM me if you need to.

Amy, I 'd be happy to drive over and meet up with Randy somewhere and get some Chike to you to try. I have orange dream and strawberry burst flavors on hand. I'm serious now, don't tell me you live too far away. They have 27 gms of protein when you add water and about 170 calories. They are the only protein drinks I could stand ... and I actually like them. Well, the SmartForme Wildberry Passion was good, too. But, Chike is my favorite. I'll PM my phone numbers to you and  hubby and I will meet up with Randy.

Also, call your surgeon....just in case you need something else checked out. I get totally tired when my metabolism slows from not enough calories. For me, I have to get 850 a day or I'm shivering with cold and lethargic in no time.

Thanks everyone.  I feel better now.  Maybe I just needed more water.  I drank a bunch, made the hot chocolate, and then had some soup.  I'm feeling back to normal now.  I think walking through Toysrus looking for a birthday present was just too much this morning on just 16 oz of water.  Shelly, you are so sweet and thank you so much for offering to bring me some Chike.  I actually really do want to try some, do you know any place in town that sells it?  Or do you have to get it on line? 

The only place that I know of to get it locally is OWLO, but they only sell to their patients. However, the patients can buy what they want and then share their order. So, I'd be happy to get some for you. They allow it to be done that way. Or, you can buy it online. You might check to see if GNC might be able to order some for you. Maybe the WeightWise Marketplace can order it in for you, too. 

But, please let me get a few bottles to you to try before you buy some. You don't want to buy a bunch if you end up not liking it. ; ) Hubby and I can meet up with Randy, or you ... or I could even put some in the mail to you. Just let me know. : )

I'm glad you're feeling better now.

Amy, I have a humongus jug of Nectar protein in Fuzzy Navel.  I will be happy to share with you.  It is one of the more palatable protein powders I found.  I also have some that is lemon ice tea flavor.  I will meet Randy some where to do the hand off.  PM me if you want to make arrangements or I think you have my phone #.
