The ONE complaint I never thought I’d have.

Sorrrrrrrrr for the negative posts recently, especially for the new followers (I promise I’m not always like this, swearsies, funny, light things will be back soon) but I feel like honesty is the best policy, and this community has proved to be a supportive one.

This may be the biggest first world problem ever, but nonetheless it is a problem, and it concerns me.

I recently began taking a medication that has a few possible side effects at the beginning, and I am being hit with one hard: loss of appetite.

I can’t fathom hunger up for anything, and whats worst, the things I love the most (pizza, mac and cheese, pasta, meat) downright turn my stomach right now. As I sit typing this, I am trying to get down soup, crackers and a fruit cup and I am STRUGGLING.

As a result, I’ve lost some weight recently, and its starting to be a noticeable. THIS IS THE OPPOSITE PROBLEM I HAVE HAD THE LAST 10 YEARS. I have always wanted to slim down, but NOT like this. And I loooooooooove food. I love to eat! I am a foodie! Cooking relaxes me and makes me happy! But lately its allblech.

So I am asking some advice. I can’t not take the medication, but I can’t not eat. Doc says I’ve got to get at LEAST 1400 calories a day. Bland seems easy. Liquid seems easier. Balanced nutrients and vitamins are a must. This side effect will pass, but I don’t want to be shaky and weak and emaciated when it does.

So tumblrs, here I am asking for advice. Great veggie-rich soup recipes? Easy carbs? Smoothie recipes? Protein shake recipes? Gimme what you got.
