Question about eating.

Okay, so on Wednesday I started feeling really gross, just nauseous, tired and what have you. Thursday I got sick for the first time, and ever since if I'm not puking I feel sick to my stomach.

I'm also going through some smurf and am horribly stressed/depressed. Whatever.


Sooo, I know I need to eat. ( I've lost 10 pounds in the past 5 days). I'm exhausted, my whole body feels like it's going to crumble beneath my feet. But, when I think about eating it makes me feel sick. Like dry heaving sick. I finally sucked it up and tried to eat some carrots, and they tasted bad to me. I love carrots, they are normally my go to snack.

So, what gives? The only time I don't feel sick is when I'm up cleaning, on the phone, or otherwise occupying my mind, so I know it's all physiological. But how do I fix this?

Might work for you, might not. But this will sound weird. Find a game that really makes you think. Brain teasers, whatever. Have a snack with you and take a bite every now and then. You won't even realize you're eating because you're thinking about the game.

I'm going to try that. Thanks.

I know I'm so exhausted because my body has nothing to turn into energy. I'm trying to drink things that have calories in them, Milk, juice, soda just to keep my energy up but I always seem to drink water. I may just try to go get one of those ensure, or carnation instant breakfast, too.

That's a really good idea. Hopefully you can keep something down!

Thank you. I'm not going to lie, I really love the weight loss from it, but I know I can't sustain this without, ya know, dying.

how about some toast and hot decaf tea, maybe it'll be enough to stop the nausea so you can eat something more substantial...like and egg sandwhich..the protein wil help with nausea

Are you on any medications or weaning off of any?
It's probably stress like you mentioned. The suggestion about playing a game and munching on something is a good one!

Nope, just BC which I'm going to stop taking anyways.

Oh god, I read eggs and wanted to puke. Eggs are my enemy. Lol.

We had ducks growing up, and my chocolate lab got into their nest and ate the eggs in front of me.. And by eggs I mean half formed ducklings lol. Traumatized. For. Life. I knew that dog was the spawn of satan.
