feel like I am starving even though I have no appetite

[jkfjdohio 12]

No matter what I eat, how well I chew or how slowly I eat, I get nauseated & usually throw up. I'm 6 weeks out today & am getting at most 300 calories a day. The thought of eating makes me sick. I'm weak & feel malnourished. Even Water makes me sick. Anyone else struggling like this? Does it get better? I'm really regretting my sleeve right now.

Your stomach is not ready for the foods you are eating right now. Go back to basics of a broth and slowly work up to yogurts, sf puddings, sf jellos', cottage cheese and then to pureed foods when you stomach allows it. Then to soft foods and then regular. this is a process and it sounds like your stomach is still swollen. Treat it like a baby stomach and it will adjust. If it doesn't, then talk with your surgeon and NUT.

Ms. Skinniness gave you good advice, but I think I would see the doctor sooner than later since you are a full 6 weeks out. If you were only 3-4 weeks out, I would think you have time for your stomach to adjust, but most of the major healing should be done around 6 weeks. So, drink your broths, etc, but get an appointment! 300 calories could make your body think it is starving and then it will start eating away at your muscles.

As for the Water thing, I've seen that a lot!! What I've seen that works for me I'd Cristal light, i like the lemonade, i use more water than it calls for, i used to love water!! What are you eating? What's on your diet at this point?

Sadlers has a point, go see the Dr because you shouldn't really be in this stage at almost 2 months out.

It can be hard, I have heard of this before. Get on a liquid miltivitamin, and keep a food log - you need to be aware of how little you are eating. Good luck. I got a second opinion at 6 weeks out, because I was having trouble too. It all worked out eventually.

Since you mentioned crystal light. I recently tried the dasani drops and they are amazing !!! Way better than crystal light

How are they price wise compared to crystal light?

I think 3 something for over 30 servings.
