Re: not enough nutrition -

[Guest guest]

Hi !

I'm on my 5th day today and feel pretty good, but I know that

rundown feeling you're talking about. I've been drinking the high

protein formula of Ensure and juicing a lot of fruits and

vegetables. My parents have also been adding ground up pine nuts to

my drinks for the extra protein. When I want something a little

more substantial, I'll have a creamy soup and that usually keeps me

full for a while. I'm still on a full liquid diet because I'm

banded tightly, but I try to have a " meal " every 1.5 to 2 hours and

sleep a ton. I feel like keeping semi-regular eating and sleeping

cycles makes me a little more energetic. I hope this helps!

Good luck!
