Thanks everyone, I am reading all your replies, not up to commenting much myself at the minute, feeling rough.

Glad you're feeling better!

Thank you very much.

I can't have coffee. I can't see that lasting me anyway! :) At least not at the moment. I'm going to try making my own shakes as well, so it's not all bad. Anyone use Agave Nectar here? What's the general opinion?

Oh good! I will carry on with them, try making some of my own as mfactor suggests and maybe buy the whey one when it's on 50% off...

Thank you, this is useful. I like the idea of the peanut butter. The protein powder you add to your home made ones, is that the same as the one you linked me to or a different type?

Of course, sorry. It was 6.5 when I got up.

Hello, I often can't face eating in the morning, I have Asda meal replacement shakes (their version of Slimfast). I tested this morning, I was 7.7 two hours after having it. Is that ok, and if so will it be a viable breakfast replacement ongoing? Are there better ones out there that are more...

Thanks for the replies. In response to questions: I am on 125mcg thyroxine daily, was on 150 until I lost weight, expect most recent blood test is going to tell me to go back up to that since I regained the weight. Doctor said the same sort of thing about the pain. I've been hypothyroid since...

6.5 :(

That's good news. Did you also lose weight during those months?

Managed to eat fish twice today by accident, smoked mackerel with cream cheese and creme fraiche for lunch, also some mash potato. Dinner was a salmon fillet and pasta. Porridge for breakfast. But I've only just decided tonight to try low carb. So I'm researching. I guess I would need to replace...
