Yummy over 20 gram smoothy

Hi Gracie,

I'm certain you'll be glad you're taking the Incivek twice versus three times daily. I had to take the Victrelis 3 times a day and had to do it for 24 weeks. I wasn't required to take it with 20 gms of fat but did have to take it with a meal. When you have to be up by 7:30, then eat, take the meds and do it at 4:00 and then again at midnight was tough. I have never eaten that many times a day. So it really took some adjustment. Many of us set alarms on our phones so we wouldn't miss a dose. It was a special day when I turned off all of those alarms!

One thing I'm wondering about and maybe somebody here knows. If Gracie is increasing her Incivek dose by 50% in the morning and evening, is there going to be a need to increase her fat gram consumption? If not for the bioavailability, then for the anal side effects? Since some Incivek is expelled rectally, the increased dose may increase the potential sfx. If that happens, it might be worth considering an increase in those fats.

gracie,

when my tummy got queasy i always resorted to 1% milk w/ olive oil. it worked quite nicely at 6a.m. in the morning or if i was on the go. don't know if i mentioned it 2 you but 2 atkins provides 18 grams of fat w/ solid nutritional  balance & less caloric than ensure. obviously you need to make up the missing 2 grams of fat. also that coconut oil was delicious in the smoothies.

sandy,ucbgal

Lucky for me, my hepologist said the new protocol allows me to take 3 incevik at 7 am, and 3 at 7 pm. So I can have my pills for breakfast and dinner. Apparently there was no difference in the outcome when they did a study comparing the 2 times vs 3 times per day protocol. I would find it very hard to do 3 times a day as I'm tired and go to bed around 9. Still working every day so that's pretty good. Tonight Idiscovered walnuts are very high fat. And only need a handful.

Hi Gracie

I did the olive oil 2-3 table spoons to make sure. I also took 1-2 spoons to add to what ever I ate. Olive oil will work but its better to get the fat from solid food. Jimmi Deans in the morning, early dinner with 2 spoons olive oil and 2 milano cookies and a single serve Hagendas at night :)

Best wishes for you

You just ate the olive oil? I should try that. I just ordered a case of Debbie Travis Olive Oil from Tuscany. Isn't it kind of peppery? Very brave I'd say...lol! What kind of smoothies did you make?

That is awesome. When I was on tx I could only take the morning dose with a couple tablespoons of olive oil. My stomach couldn't handle food. I basically lived off of smoothies and boost supplement for months on tx. Anything that is nutrient dense and easy to get down is good for tx.

I have had this smoothie every morning and am really becoming quite attached to it. It's yummy and has the required 20 grams of fat. Try if you like peanut butter.

Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

 

1 cup milk

1/3 cup Rocotta Cheese

1 TBSP Peanut Butter (natural preferably)

1 banana

About 3 ice cubes

 

You can also add other fruit to this like blueberries or raspberries for Favour.

 

Blend in a blender and enjoy!
