@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?

@dks I am both a peritoneal dialysis patient, and an active chemo patient for multiple myeloma. Basically I try for good protein, whether it be hard boiled eggs, chicken, fish, greek yogurt, turkey, etc. I eat based on how I feel on a given day, seeing that dialysis will deplete the protein stores/albumin numbers, and where my chemo cycle is.
As we all know, it is a balancing act for getting the nutrition we need to function. This is why I am so grateful to read what others experience, and how we have researched our individual situations. @kamama94 has helped us so much with her files! Tips from members can allow us to rethink our own meal plans and make them better.
