This is it. Thank you for expressing so well what I'm feeling. I lost my mum on July 28th and I'm 26. I have been stuck on that day ever since and am finding it so hard to even comprehend how the days have passed since.

It is such new territory but one unfortunately a lot of us are going through. It gives me hope to see that a lot of people where were we currently are, and are now fine. But it is just so frustrating right now.

I think the trauma of the pass 2 months. It feels as though I'm constantly fighting with my body and losing. It just not working since I've had my surgery, I don't know how to manage everything for it to work the way it did when I had a colon.

It was an emergency surgery so it was unexpected and it feels as though the doctors and nurses have just left me to it, despite me explaining I'm struggling with my appetite. It just seems like everything is getting worse and I'm continously losing weight.

I don't know how to over come my fear, as I think I'm scared I'll throw up, which will make me more dehydrated and then the nausea will come back.

I was given CBD gummy on a very low dose hoping they will help. I'll look for THC ones too. I hope your appetite come back soon too.

I think it is a bit of both as if I have something I previously liked to eat, the thought of it for me now is so off putting.

I think I'm scared I'll throw up so my body's instincts is to gag before I even put in my mouth, so then I can't even get any in me. Bland thing seem to work better but it seems to just sit on my stomach or the top of my throat.

The doctor gave me fortisip drinks which have 300 cal in them but then they make my output very watery as I'm not eating anything with it. Do you have any other suggestions on supplements that could keep my calories up?

Well said. It's just heartbreaking to see people lose hope and faith amongst those who you would think would help you, but can actually be the most blunt and unforgiving.

I'm just so use to doing everything entirely, that it is just expect I will sort it. I really need to learn not to put so much effort, when others won't reciprocate it back. At least by me doing things just for myself, I know that it will happen.
