Hmm Ive never tried just a bowl of wheatbran on its own, Im not sure how that would work. I have make a bowl of porridge ( oatmeal) though with the wheatbran mixed in with the oats, it turned out quite nice, added a bit more texture to the oats.

If you try just the wheatbran on its own let me know how it goes, not really sure it would taste of much though, wheatbran can be a little tasteless.

Are pure protein bars good? Ive seen them in the shops but was a little put off by the ingredient list, I`m not putting them down or anything I`m just curious.

Fractionated palm kernal oil, maltitol syrup? I dont know what alot of the ingredients are!

They do look pretty good though and 20g of protein is very appealing.

Ohhh I love digestive biscuits, I cant believe you havent tried them,they are sooooo yummy!

Driven: The mixture with the bread and milk, Im not a huge fan of it but I used to get asked so often at my old work ( care home) to make it for it people, we didnt call it that though, we called it something else and its really bugging me now because I cant remember it!!! I think it began with a p

I had a thing of salad cream, I used to just love bread dipped into it.

Ok I know its an old thread but I find books quite helpful at times.

I agree life without ed is a pretty good book, Ive just got her new one as well, Ive heard its supposed to be good to.

Maryjayne: was that book thin the one by Grace Bowman? If it was I actually found that book really good, but I guess it depends on what mindset you are in when you read it, I think the reason I like it so much was because I could relate to alot of what she was saying.

Sounds good but when I click on the link it takes me to another site about bmi calculators not baked beans?

Yes your life is at risk by throwing up, it puts alot of strain on the body and can cause alot of damage that you dont always see.

Your bmi is very underweight and it doesnt matter how advanced you might think your history is/isnt, you are a candidate for IP. There are a wide range of bmis in IP facilities so dont let that put you off. You`ll find quite a lot of IP clinics wont take someone with a bmi of 12 or 13 because its to low, they are sent to hospital first.

Definitely go to the hospital and seek some proper advice, you certainly deserve treatment.

I went through a phase once of always craving stuff like peanut butter and pistachios, I put it down to a lack of protein. I think I read somewhere once lack of protein can make you crave pb but as fidget said Id also look at your fats.

I love weetabix, I pour milk over mine then heat them up in the microwave and add raisins, strawberries and almonds, yummy!

Sometimes they are pretty good to just eat as they are as well, you can spread some jam/pb/nutella over them and have them like you would toast.

Crumbling them up and making a yogurt layer with fruit is also good.

I know what you mean, on here is the only place I can actually talk to people who understand and sometimes its great to just meet other people who are going through the same thing.

My name is Laura Erwin on facebook is anyone wants to add me, Id love to get to know other better

I have huge problems with this, like someone else suggested at nights cake your hands in something like neutrogena norweigian swiss cream and then pop some cotton gloves on over it.

I dont like that cream for during the day though because its to greasy so during the day I use Eurcerin its really brilliant, you can get it in boots, its expensive but it helps alot.

I found in recovery that when I began to eat more I was more tired throughout the day and got tired quicker.

As for the eating at night, do you have a snack before bed? That might help you from waking up to eat something. I find if I get into the habit of waking up at certain times during the night then I keep doing it, maybe try when you wake up not getting out of bed or turning on the light but trying to get straight back to sleep before the sleepyness goes away.

Ohh some cool ideas thanx guys, I kinda like the idea of one of the x men or maybe go for the slightly more fantasy lord of the rings.

I just didnt want to go as someone from star trek, I wanted something that I could make my costume a bit more interesting, thanks for the ideas.

I think it would be good to move out of your safety zone and try something else. I never really saw the appeal of Quorn, I can understand if your a vegetarian but if not then Id much rather eat some meat instead, Quorn doesnt really have a lot of protein in it.

I struggle a little when it comes to things such as red meat but have you thought of trying chicken? To start if slow just try putting it in sandwiches and then build up to eating a dinner with chicken in it, theres lots of things you can do with it. What about expanding your fish from just cod, trying maybe some shellfish for a change?

If you feel up to it give the red meat a go, I eat the extra lean stuff, you can get it in Tesco/Sainsburys, I know a lot of people will disagree a say to eat the normal regular type but I find red meats a struggle to eat so this makes it a little easier. It tastes really good made in a bolognese.

Go for it, you`ll never know if you like these things till you try them

It is very sad indeed, he was so young. I wonder what happened him?

I know theres a lot of people who are against drinking cows milk and thats fine if thats what they believe in I respect that.

I've always grown up on drinking just regular cows milk and I still do and its caused me no ill effects. I think at the end of the day its really down to personal preferences.

I tried rice milk once and didnt like it, it was to sweet tasting.
