Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Strength training can really help bone density, but you'll need to eat to grow. Lots of peanut butter in your future. There is peanut butter based protein powder
I didn't know about peanut butter protein powder, thank you.
There are many different types of protein powders: soy, pea, hemp, pumpkin seed. It’s hard to find sample sizes so the trial and error to find one that doesn’t bother your stomach will be a bit of pain in the butt.
There are also protein bars, which can be a little high in sugar and calories, but if they don’t upset your stomach, they might be a good small on the go snack. It might be a little tricky finding one without lactose and tree nuts, but once you find one that you tolerate well, you can order them by the case.
Eggs, tinned fish and tofu are all huge staples for folks trying to up their protein intake.
Hopefully the doctor will figure out what’s causing your struggles. Good luck.
