HELP

[Guest guest]

Thanks Jeanne, I am sure we can do this! and I have been much better

already! I did not have any coffee after I got to work last night. I do

carry my protein in a baggie and take along my stick blender. and I did have

2 shakes yesterday. Now my plan afterr I get some sleep is to pull out those

old exercise videos. I really can't wait til winter is over however so I can

get out again! Thank you for your encouragement!

-- Re: help

Hi IrishEyes - Sounds like you are going through a rough spot. First of all

I suggest you get a 2nd shake in while you are at work, and another after

you get home. This will go a long way to improving your energy level. Is

the coffee you drink regular coffee? That caffeine is probably doing a lot

to encourage your appetite for the carbs. The more carbs you eat, the more

you want them. Substitute one protein drink for one cup of coffee, and

gradually cut back on the rest and drink water or Crystal Light instead.

You know there are some really good ready to drink proteins out there called

zero carb Isopure. They come in 20 oz. glass bottles. There are 5 fruit

flavors. Each bottle has 40 grams of protein. I usually do a half bottle

at a time. They are expensive, like $3.50 a bottle, but they might be

easier for you to take to work. Otherwise put your protein powder in a

baggie and get a shaker container or take a mini blender to work. You can

do this. Stop making excuses against not doing it. How about picking up an

exercise video or two? I bought the walk away the pounds series, but haven

t started them yet. I hear they are really great. I need a kick in the

butt to get exercising again, too. C'mon girl, we can do this!

Take care.

Protein calories don't work the same as food calories. Now, if you mix with

milk or juice, of course, put those calories right onto your hips. But the

protein powder has a job to do, places to go, organs & tissues to feed. No

left overs, no loitering. No waste.

Sugar, on the other hand, has ONLY waste. No job, nothing. Lips to hips, no

digestion required.

Re: help

Kathy

thanks...I find it hard to increase my protein shakes as they have 180

calories each in them...that adds up quick. But I am going to try to have at

least two per day...we will see...just can't make my mind get past the

calorie part...ggg

Hi All-

I see alot of talk about the protein drinks and wonder if

thats all you consume????

does anyone eat " real " food??? I have eaten protein bars, I know I dont

get enough protein from the

foods I can consume. It seems like some people drink alot. How are you

able to consume????

im six months post-op and it takes me by surprise that you guys drink so

much...Am I wacked and

doing this all wrong??? We were never told to consume protein

drinks...Hope i dont sound too stupid.

Thanks,

KIM

Barbara,

Eat some beef...believe me, it makes a difference. I am bipolar (there, I have

never admitted it to anyone else). When I ate beef for 2-3 days, I slept

better. You, as well as I, know that sleep deprivation is the worst thing for

bipolar. I take klonopin at night and was still waking up. The beef made a

difference. PLEASE TRY IT. It also helps with pains and aches.

Good luck and best wishes,

Irene

Hardly slept at all last night, second night in a row, fourth time this week.

It's a combination of exhaustion and muscle aches, and the muscle rub I used

helped but not enough. I've been taking extra-strength Tylenol but it

doesn't solve the problem. I was out briefly this afternoon and discovered I

really

did need to hold onto walls. If I look (or stand) up at all fast I almost

pass out. I can eat OK (made a really good pasta salad with chickpeas and

vegetables earlier today; haven't eaten it yet but I couldn't resist a taste!)

but

I can barely hold my head up. If I can't get some decent sleep I'm going to

be in real danger; sleep deprivation is very bad for people with bipolar.

Anyone got any ideas? I'm really scared now.

I called a friend and asked if she could pick me up early Monday morning and

take me to the hospital for my scan...I even asked her to come upstairs to my

apartment because I don't think I can make it downstairs without help at 7:30

AM that day! She said she'd be happy to.

If anyone has my home phone in Philadelphia and wants to call me, feel

free...

Hi, Barbara

Just wishing you good luck for Monday. You'll get through it! I'm

glad you have someone picking you up and taking you to the hospital.

Wishing you the best!!

Barbara,

As a addendum, it has been my experience that bipolar persons have a

carbo problem. Pasta just aggravates it. Whenever I can not sleep

or function, I eat beef and believe it or not, with meds, I do feel

better and function. I notice on the LID that when I eat chicken, I

don't sleep well; however, when I eat beef I do. I am not a doctor

but I notice the difference. May be my peculiar body chemistry.

Pasta lulls me to sleep only to wake me in the dead of night.

Please be careful. And I wish you well. If no one is able to take

you to the hospital, please call a cab. I have gone through your

symptoms when I have not been hypo...

Best wishes,

Irene

Hi...

I have been truly OP and exercising. I have gained 6lbs... almost

OVERNIGHT. I have not used my flex points ( I usually don't), and I

have swam everyday in the month of August except for yesterday. BUT

I did walk briskly for 40min.

What is going on? I want to cry! I have been doing EVERYTHING I am

suppose to do.
