I Found Something I really Like!

[Sonrissa]

Hi Everyone! I'm on day 13, I think, of pain pill detox! I've been doing ok, just trying to plug through each day! Still have a few physical issues! (the mental stuff is another story) I'm still feeling tired, sluggish, and still have some stomach problems! Food still doesn't interest me, I get waves of queasy,nauseousness! Well, the other day I picked up some Ensure, high protein shakes! They have 25 grams of protein, and 5 grams of sugar! (sugar is an issue for me) I love these shakes! They taste good, soothe my queasy tummy, and fill me up! I usually drink one in the morning and one in the late afternoon! I feel much better and they seem to give me energy! I'm really trying to get some nutrition and at least stabalize my weight! I can not lose anymore pounds! I thought I would share with anyone looking for something to help with eating issues! I hope this may help! Take care all, I keep moving forward!

You know Sonrissa, I was thinking that as I typed it.  It's strange how we can justify paying top dollar for a freaking pill but hate paying for things that can make us healthy.  Another sign of warped, drug induced thinking.

I'm so glad you found this.  Drinking Ensure helped turn the tables for me.  When I was 4 1/2 days in Minn kinda scolded me that I hadn't ingested anything but liquids.  No nourishment.  I still drink them.  I've never been a breakfast person. In my "past life" my day started with massive amts. of coffee and a bunch of pills.  Now my day starts with Ensure Boost, vitamins, a banana and the treadmill.  The first two weeks Ensure was my main source of nutrition.  And there are many reasons it's making you feel better.  But especially the protein.  Your brain and body are screaming for it.  Although after Hell Week, the horrific symptoms had passed it wasn't until after 14 days that I started to get "real" strength back. Now at day 26, I will be honest and tell you, for me, it wasn't until I hit this 4th week that my energy started to come back full force.  It will for you too.  So happy for you Sonrissa!

Hey Pat, yeah they are a bit pricey, but far less than the cost of the pills, right? LOL,

Correct me if I am wrong here but doesn't sugar cause restlessness when detoxing? I am so going to grab some ensure tomorrow I am excited to finally find something that wont make me sick.

[Pat1956100]

Well there you go.  I didn't know they made those either.  If I maybe read a little slower and stopped typing, I would have read that lol.
thanks and I shall look for those.  They are pricey though aren't they but I think I'm worth it.
Cheers

Hey Pat, I knew about the Ensures, but I didn't know that they made a high protein/low sugar one! I checked em out before and I only saw the ones that had over 20 grams of sugar! Too much sugar at one time makes me very very sick! I was so happy to find the high protein ones! Love them! Thanks!!

Hi girly. Yeah sugar is an issue for me too. I drink a different one because I get hypoglycemic ... I drink the EAS advantEdge carb control. They only have 17g of protein but no sugar!!!  So for me it works. But it sounds like u may need a little more. Are u snacking on fruit yogurt maybe goldfish crackers. Just make yourself eat the snacks ok!!! Love ya for all u do girl!!!

[Pat1956100]

Sonrissa, that is a big part of our kit.  I lived on Ensures when I went through my first detox.  I love them too and it feels like I am putting something healthy in my body so it helps with my anxiety too.
I am sorry I didn't let you know about them before.  I thought you knew.

Thats great!!! Whatever you can get and keep down is great. I likes muscle milk and Eas shakes. Lots of protein and went down easy. I'll have to try Ensure high protein ones.

[Sonrissa]

You did Minn! You sure did! Really, for me, this is the absolute best stuff I've found! I like the high protein and low sugar! The other drinks/shakes  have way to much sugar for me. Finally, I feel like I found something that really helps me! Thanks Minn, this may just need to be added to Secret Detoxers Survival kit! LOL! Love you!

Told you ;) I still drink them. Glad you're finally getting some energy!
