What to eat

[CatLil]

What kind of foods do you eat to get the 20gr of fat you need with the Incivik?

Hey thanks.  I haven't been on the meds long yet ... not even a wk.  I am not feeling any side effects which I am surprised. Maybe itching but not sure because that has come and gone often.  Do you know if one is to feel side effects would I have felt them by now?  My appetite is still here but as I said it has not been a wk yet.  I injected myself of Sunday and my 2nd injection isn't due yet. I am on the incevik and RIBA.  I really don't want to gain wt.

lol some will quibble whether this is food or not but for some brands it says so right on the can! Potted Meat Food Product = one 3oz can = 12g fat plus a tbs or two of mayo = 17 / 22g. I think its really dog food for humans, Arf! Then there is Vienna Sausage in a can. Eat all seven links and that will put you over the top. Any of the assorted cellophane covered pastries in grocery store are around 18 to 23+ grams fat. Generally I avoid green or orange foods but as strange as it sounds to me it seems many in the forum actually like them. If you are one and haven't gagged already remember it's just to get you past the one or two times of low appetite, when in a hurry, or change of pace designed to boost appreciation of your daily peanut butter dose.

The side effects tend to progress the longer you treat. Who knows though, yours may not be as profound as many others so I don't want to plant the seed suggesting you will be plenty miserable next month at this time. The thing is, as we go along quite often the lab values of certain serum levels necessary for functioning at 100% change. I'm thinking mainly Hemoglobin (Hgb) and absolute neutrophil count (ANC).

I'm glad you are feeling OK so far♫

Don't look for the sx. Some may not come. Not everyone has bad sx.
I think less than a week is too soon to tell.
Remember this is a select group on the internet.
Smarter than most and probably with more issues or they wouldn't be searching
for the very wise advise they get here.

Wishing you mild sx

Idyilic,

There were times while on Incivek that I couldn't force solid fats into my mouth.  I ended up drinking eggnog or 1 cup of melted ice cream.  Ice cream may not be the healthy choice, but it was the easiest way to get the right amount of fat with Incivek.

Jodao,

The side effects will come, but maybe they'll be mild for you.  You might want to prepare yourself for gaining some weight.  It'll be nearly impossible to eat 60gms of fat each day without gaining weight.  Water and fat intake are very important.
