I had my surgery in August, I’ve lost a ton of weight but never been able to drink or eat as much as recommended.

It can take me nearly 6/7 hours to consume 16 ounces of clear liquid if I don’t eat any food

If I eat food it’s typically 4 hours before I can consume liquids again

When I do eat I can only get down 2/3 bites max. Usually after the first bite I feel deathly I’ll sick and close to puking.

After 2/3 bites if I push further then I throw up

I’m consuming 200-400 calories a day max

I tried going back to purred food but even puréed potatoes I can only do 1/2 bites of.

I can’t finish a Protein Shake or a bowl of soup

I feel horrible for hours after eating even when I eat only 2 bites worth

I’ve tried all types of foods. Protein/meat makes me the most sick. I absolutely cannot eat bread/grains/rice/pasta at all. I absolutely cannot drink Water or juice without throwing it up.

I’m basically living off Gatorade zero’s, some chicken broth, and maybe 4 bites a day of food (eggs, chicken, ground turkey/beef)

The food that feels easiest for me to consume is potatoes but I think that’s only because I can purée them so easily to a very easy to consume consistency


It hurts so bad to eat that I hate eating, and I thought I would be more healed by now being 5 months out

I’m losing weight rapidly with no signs of stopping but I feel weak and am not as mentally sharp. I also feel faint often. And I know I’m not getting the nutrition my body needs.

Any advice on how to get my body to accept more food/liquids?

I’ve talked to my nutritionist and doctor to no avail. Besides telling me just to eat more and drink more which just leads to puking.
