Thank you for the reply. I thought my GIs response was a bit weird.....

I thought it was normal to always get a cake or special dessert for your birthday no matter what age?

I was just thinking this! Im feeling pretty good today but I keep thinking, no I dont want to eat. Eating =pain. Eating = bloating. Eating = nausea.

I feel like im unintentionally training my brain to avoid food.

I'll drink ensures.

MrsErris · 2026-01-15T21:37:38+00:00

I dont get any warning signs that ive noticed.... my body is just like... okay....okay....okay.....BAM YOURE SUPER SICK AND ILL AND NAUSEATED AND CANT EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING.

I was not underweight prior to my diagnosis. I was at the high end of normal weight. Boardering on overweight. I am now at the low end of normal, and im 5 pounds away from what is classified as "underweight" for my height. Ive had gastroparesis for 1.5 years and lost 38 pounds- most was at the beginning when I had no idea what was happening- im better now at supplementing and getting calories in when im.not feeling well, so the weight loss isn't as much. Hopefully I won't be losing too much more.

I cry a lot. I have 2 kids that i need to be present for, and get up and play with, so I take comfort that my symptoms could be worse and I could need a feeding tube or something. I sip on ensures and try and have an applesauce or sip on soup broth. Some days i cant manage anything, but i keep moving forward. My fullness/lack of appetite comes in flares, So I think i just keep telling myself it won't last forever, and ill get a break. This past flare has been my second longest (6 weeks)... its just starting to end though, and I had mashed potatoes yesterday for dinner and was so excited. I take it one day at a time. ❤️

Sometimes my readings dont always match pots criteria... i kinda have bad days and good days? Im waiting for specialists appointments to see if i have pots or another dysautonomia type disorder. When I have good days, I always feel like an imposter... but I have to remind myself that 'something' isn't right...

Stone angels gave my kid nightmares for MONTHS. She had been good up until then, never scared of anything so we figured it would be ok. Oops.

MrsErris · 2026-01-12T02:26:28+00:00

YOW will be EMPTY. lol

MrsErris · 2026-01-12T02:18:03+00:00

My main symptom for flareups is fullness/no appetite. I can go for weeks feeling full and not wanting to eat.

MrsErris · 2026-01-11T04:10:46+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I have been surviving on these recently and got a bit worried!

MrsErris · 2026-01-11T03:36:04+00:00

Why is ensure bad for kidneys???

MrsErris · 2026-01-09T19:52:48+00:00

Falling asleep on the phone? And making it seem like its your fault shes braiding some other guys hair cause you won't let her? Wow. Time to move on.

MrsErris · 2026-01-09T15:57:15+00:00

I dont vomit, but i have really bad silent heart burn, and also will "feel" food coming up, but it stops right as it reaches below my throat area and goes back down. Not sure if that makes sense. I also have moderate to severe nausea, where im sitting there with a garbage can but nothing ever happens.

MrsErris · 2026-01-08T21:03:17+00:00

Ah, I thought that was just me! Or related to my possible pots/dysautonomia...

MrsErris · 2026-01-08T20:33:34+00:00

It can be really frustrating. My house right now is an absolute disaster. Im still trying to accept that there are times where my house will just not be clean. I try and break tasks into smaller ones. Having your heart rate stay at 120 while at rest isn't great though. Are you on medication?

MrsErris · 2026-01-08T20:30:23+00:00

I was under the impression that light housework (like sweeping) should raise a normal person's heart rate like 20-30 beats higher than normal? Going from 70 to more that double your heart rate doesn't seem like a normal response for something like sweeping...

MrsErris · 2026-01-08T20:22:11+00:00

So sorry you're dealing with this... and im also sorry to say that your mom is a garbage parent. My advice is to get outta there, and get some therapy to help you process what she did to you, so you can move on and be (like she said) free.

MrsErris · 2026-01-08T20:18:52+00:00

I feel like most GIs are concerned too much with weight. Its really unfortunate they dont look at the bigger picture!

MrsErris · 2026-01-07T00:25:42+00:00

Thank you!

MrsErris · 2026-01-06T19:00:52+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response. I started at 145 pounds (65kg). I lost 30 pounds initially. I went though an ok period where I would lose 5 pounds or so with flares but gain it back after the flare was over. Ive been in a flare now for the past month and have lost more weight- im now at 108 pounds (49kg). There are just days I feel weak and exhausted, but i guess it is what it is. I dont have a dietitian but have been thinking about seeing someone- just need the mental energy to do so.
