Stomach ache and can't eat

My stomach feels so yucky. I'm 3 weeks out today and everything I eat turns my stomach. I have zero appetite and am only getting about 200 calories a day. Now I'm struggling to get my Vitamins as well.

Every time I eat I get a cramp in my stomach, sharp pains and tons of noise in my bowels. I feel sick after I eat and it gives me zero pleasure. But if I don't eat at all, I feel sick also.

Anyone have experience with this? I'm not sure what to do and I am having trouble even getting Water down.

I feel exactly the same as you. I am five weeks out and I have no interest in food, water, or my vitamins. I've been away from home this past week visiting family in Texas and I'm thinking that may have something to do with it. I also vomited two nights ago and that was a real turn off as far as eating. I've been struggling more than I thought I would. My goal is to drink at least 60 grams of protein on our drive home tomorrow and Saturday. If I can get it down in the car then I can do it when I get home. Good luck to you! We are in this together. ????

I know it is really hard when you feel like crap getting your water, protein and vitamins in but they are what is going to make you start feeling better.

As hard as it is, you really need to get more calories in. I am guessing you feel very weak as well.

It will get better but you have to try to get more in your body and you will start to feel better. Even if you throw up, wait an hour and start sipping water and protein. Honestly, I started feeling more energy as soon as I started taking my vitamins everyday as prescribed.

If you are dehydrated it can really make you sick and put you back in the hospital.

I hope you feel better soon!

Dj I think your right but it's so hard. I don't feel weak, just gross and nauseated. I'm really working on the Water, I'm only getting about 3 cups a day and it's concerning. I am going to go back to just shakes for awhile. I can tolerate any more eggs and everything else is awful too.

I gave myself a Vitamin break this week for one day and I've been getting the rest of them except the Multivitamin. It tastes so awful I need to order another kind.

This is harder then I thought. The idea of eating until I puke is not one I want to go with! I can deal with the lack of food, it's the nausea that's really terrible and forcing myself to eat.

The taste of things seems really off as well. Nothing appeals.
