I actually ended up having to get help from a body builder friend.

When my doc changed my meds, I didn't realize the biggest side effect would be loss of appetite.

It was an absolutely miserable couple of weeks until MBE and I figured out a partial solution.

I'm not allowed to fix my plate anymore. MBE does it. She puts a few (around 5) bites of meat, a spoonful starch -- potatoes, rice, whatever, then a couple of spoonfuls of veggies. She knows I'm aware that this can be a problem, so I'm likely to eat the veggies first, so I get the most of those.

As she puts it, "If it doesn't look like so much, you might eat it better."

Now comes the body builder friend part. Like I said, the solution above is only a partial solution. I'm still not hungry and its hard to make myself to eat that much. So, now I get body fortess protein powder and mix it in almond milk. It gives me the nutrients I have to have, yet doesn't make me eat.

I can relate to the gaining weight problem. I get soooooooooooo mad. None of my clothes fit. Everything is too big. What used to be tight on me is now either a perfect fit or too loose. Yet the scale shows no difference.

Then I remembered the fat turning to muscle and muscle weighing more thingy...

Then I don't feel so bad.
