Never tried soy milk before but if I do the protein shakes I will definitely consider it. Everyone's been so helpful. Thank you!

I always get the vanilla flavored one. you can buy in in the frigeration section or non frigerated. I buy the non frigerated ones in bulk at costco but would suggest just buying one carton first. May want to try one of each ... the frigerated and non frigerated. On the protein powder I'll warn you that I didn't like the vanilla in that brand even when I add things to it. I really like their chocolate. If you want a double fix add peanut butter in it!

Triple fix add bananas also!

I had a banana overload at one time and can't do them anymore! Became allergic!

Haha Not sure I can do that. I don't have access to a goat. Not sure if I would be able to drink it if I did.

Came across this thread and thought I would pop in and say good luck. I too have heard ensure is the way to go. More than 2000 calories daily a must. If all else fails I have a grandmother that cooks some fantastic mexican food. We can send you her way. lol

I will try avoid having a banana overload

I've have really low B12 an I know that can contribute to the loss of appetite, so I am getting a shot of B12 once a week to try and get it back up to a good number.

Hi Jessica! I was just going to recommend B12! I have a bottle of sublingual B12 on my desk that I take right when I get to work every morning. It really seems to help!

I am in the same boat as you, more or less. I am 5'9" and weight about 116 right now. I'm a total stress non-eater and have to be careful when life gets hectic for me or I waste away to nothing. And one thing I do to combat the stress is to run, which doesn't help with the weight loss at all!

I have an apple and almond butter for breakfast and then a salad with steak or chicken for lunch and a protein rich dinner. I tried the Ensure drinks but didn't care for them. If you have a Trader Joe's nearby they sell a yummy vanilla protein powder that you can add to a breakfast smoothie in the morning...it's better than coffee!!

The best of luck to you!!
