im freaking out because its so hard to keep liquids down. everyone is saying this is normal and ill one day be able to get food down. but that seems impossible to me right now. can anyone please give me some words of hope from their own experiences??

Yup all we can a little bit at a time! We ate obliviously for years and didn't die, this little bit will be ok and we will get through it!!!

Been easy to get my liquids in. Much easier than eating enough

My kids bought me these when I got sleeved in june of 2013. The cupcake plates were fun because I DID get my cupcake...just in picture gorm ( which was fine because my taste buds changed and sugar tasted disgusting!) The little mason jar glass was to remind me to sip, sip, sip. And the small fork and spoon kept me from taking too big of a bite. I still use these today, especuallt when stressed so I slow down my eating and drinking.

You will get there. Dont worry about what you cannot eat or drink, be happy you are making progress every single day!!!
