Welcome back Meredith I can empathize with you about not wanting to eat, especially enough protein. I never eat enough at meals to make my daily quota. You can figure 1/3 g of protein daily for each pound that you weigh. I supplement with a protein drink (don’t like Wal-Mart, but I do like their Equate vanilla more than most and it has 30 g) . I don’t care for yogurt, so I eat Oikas Greek yogurt as a medicine 😊 15 g. That gives me 45 g per day, luckily I like cheese and eggs, cottage cheese, nuts, and vegetables. I consider the yogurt and protein drink medicine, so I usually eat them in-between meals. I hope that helps
I don’t suffer from depression but my oldest daughter has and has found walnuts, beans, poultry, help her keep more evenly balanced. Especially staying away from sugars. Good luck, I don’t know where you live but for me and Reno we’re looking forward to better weather, hopefully no more snow and very little more rain for a while. Sunshine is my antidote to everything. Joan Life is 10% of what happens to us and 90% how we react to it.

However I finally got a new address and I hope some of you remember me. I have a question for all of you. I have 3 pressure sores, one on each hip that are not bad but one on my butt that has tunneled about 6 centimeters but is almost closed. Any suggestions? I have been told that I need protein and to gain weight but I am not able to eat a lot because I feel nauseous and depressed. Please any advice would be appreciated. Meredith
