Im 3 weeks out, I should have started stage 4 diet today. Since it hurts to eat soo bad I had crystal light for breakfast which was disgusting I took about 2 sips. I couldnt take it and decided not to eat. Which I have been doing alot lately. Around about 4pm I had the worst tummy ache felt like naseau. I hated it and just thought I was having pains like always. around 9:30 idecided to make a mashpotatoe for the first time. I was afraid my belly wouldnt like it but it actually went well. The terrible pain I usually get didnt happend for a while so now I think maybe that pain is telling me im full and the other pain was telling me im hungry. I have no idea but my tummy doesnt hurt now. im happy and maybe tomorrow I will try stage 4 im still afraid

Hello! I had an incident today that proved to me that I need to eat!! at least eat more often...even if it is just little bites. I was at petco with my aunt, started feeling nauseated...next thing you know I am starting to pass out. I was dizzy, blurry vision, my legs were giving out..I wanted to sit down, but didn't have a chair. My aunt was trying to hold me up while yelling for help so they brought a chair over real quick. I seriously thought I was gonna faint onto the floor. It was the weirdest feeling ever. Once I sat down, I felt better and eventually it passed. Moral of the story, You gotta eat! To keep up your strength and your blood sugar, even if you aren't diabetic. I know it hurts to eat, I went through the same thing. I hope your stomach heals up soon! :-)

Thanks for that. I read your post ina different thread and realized it may have been similar. I get dizzy and naseaus too I was upset for hours at the feeling.but it was my body begging for food

mature of time only.
