carlacat Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I love my job I started in December but the only problem is...I go to work at 3:30 and work the evening and I'm losing weight because I'm not eating my supper. I eat my breakfast and then alittle lunch and thats it. Does anyone have any ideas of a good meal drink or something that I can get so I'll be getting something for my supper? I know this sounds like a stupid question but any imput would be great. I have my yearly checkup next month so I will have my doctor do a good look over to make sure nothing else is going on with the weight loss deal.

taylortotmom Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Well, skipping dinner (or any meal) is usually a bad idea for us with dysautonomia. Do you get a break for dinner? I would encourage you to try Ensure- the chocolate ones are okay IMO. If you could squeeze in something as simple as a baked potato (load with cheese, salt, bacon bits if you need the sodium) it would be even better. I also hope you are keeping up with your fluids. It's great that you are able to work again but don't make yourself sick in the process- eat! I stay at home and I still have to really work at eating- I have little appetite so I have to get my nutrition in concentrated amounts. But, if I don't I take two steps back. So, take care of yourself!Carmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bttrflyamby1981 Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Maybe even bring a can of V-8 would be better then nothing. I bring one with me when it's close to a meal just in case. I get migraines if I don't eat when I need to. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tearose Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 It is wonderful that you found a job you love and can manage. You are right to want to keep strong and not get to an underweight level! Are you able to nibble on a handful of almonds and raisins? How about a small wholegrain supplement bar? These pack good energy and won't make you feel tired. Try a few snacks if you don't feel like having a full dinner. Since you are at work, make the snacks simple and tasty. Hope you find something that works. I bet your doctor will make suggestions too if they are concerned!best regards, tearose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marnian Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I really like the "high protein" banana ensure. It was a main source of nutrition for awhile, but even after I was back to eating regular meals I still had it for breakfast a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
