Stage 3 Kidney Disease and Diet: What can I eat?

You're right there is so much to educate ourselves on for diet, and it seems to change all the time. Right now, I am going through a period where there has to be an emphasis on getting good protein into me, but I don't feel like eating. I like mandarin oranges and their sweetness, and celery for its crunchiness, and some greek yogurt. So, it is a protein shake for me most days. My last tests from the dialysis clinic showed I am doing okay for albumin, but still losing weight that was not intended. It has my PD nurse and oncologist concerned, but I don't want to add in an appetite stimulant seeing that I am already taking so many medications!
I'll go track down those files!

@gingerw ~ I'm sorry that your daily appetite is low. That is no fun. Your Greek yogurt protein shake should be good for you. Like you, I battle weight loss. With anxieties, I don't feel hungry on many days & then tend to lose weight. I know that many people have the opposite problem with weight, and I feel badly for all of us. Being on either end of the weight spectrum can certainly be hard. You say your medical team is concerned about your continued weight loss. How much protein would your team like to see you consume on a daily basis? Can you consume enough shake/smoothie to reach that level?
