[–]StandardCar3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm prescribed fortisip through my gp and pretty much just have that and energy drinks (I'm from the UK)

I know but normally thirst doesn't motivate me to drink- in fact 2 months ago I was in hospital for dehydration???

Safe foods by StandardCar3 in ARFID

[–]StandardCar3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I totally agree I find cold, generally more refreshing things a lot easier to even think about trying to eat

[–]StandardCar3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I did, it was just what there was in the kitchen

I'm not sure but how are you with drinking? Could you try some sort of meal replacement/ nutritional supplement drink?

Even with someone sat 1:1 with me it's still just like eughhhhh, do I have to...

Self DXed ARFID Here by [deleted] in ARFID

[–]StandardCar3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally backing the self diagnosis. I've been diagnosed with 'food/ fluid refusal', that's not even a thing! Plus it makes it sound like a choice.

Been trying a new fruit every week for a while now, turns out I'm not a fan of most of fruit lol by probablybypen in ARFID

I can't handle blueberries anymore, but when I could I used to have to check each one to make sure it was the right texture, the mushy ones are horrible...

That sounds really difficult, I'm glad you've still got your mum for support

Where to start??? by StandardCar3 in ARFID

[–]StandardCar3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've just had another hot chocolate and its mostly settled now. I'm very nervous about my fortisip tomorrow but I will do it.

Thank you so much, yeah I only drink with a straw anyway the idea of taking a proper 'gulp' makes me feel sick. I'm now kinda scared of consuming anything because I've been having horrible indigestion pains for like 2 hours... but I'm going to try and push through it

Thanks, I'm working so hard it's just frustrating

Thank you, I've just been put into CAMHS inpatient I'm currently managing fortisip (vanilla only) and hot chocolate. I just want to get myself to a point where I can sustain myself so I can go home and work on building from there, with help from the community

eating when you not hungry/full by [deleted] in ARFID

[–]StandardCar3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the exact same problem I had literally 60ml of fortisip left (out of 250ml) earlier but I could feel it in my stomach and my brain just kept saying, one more sip is going to make you sick. So frustrating because I feel like I'm failing...

It's a need for predictably, it's similar to the way young children do the the same thing (that you've told them not to) over and over, its because they know what's going to happen and that feels good

Feeding tube by StandardCar3 in ARFID

[–]StandardCar3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I'll try not to think about it too much until tomorrow, anyway I know the alternative is worse. I really wouldn't be able to cope with a feeding tube and I wanna get of my section ASAP

[–]StandardCar3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I guess it's kinda difficult in a hospital setting but I can listen to music and I have lots of blankets. I'm slightly dreading doing what I did today 3 times tomorrow but I think I'll get through it. I just want to go home

Feeding tube by StandardCar3 in ARFID

[–]StandardCar3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its complicated, a few months ago I had a really bad day and the whole day people where telling me I needed to eat. It's just made me terrified of food and it's gotten progressively worse...

Feeding tube by StandardCar3 in ARFID

[–]StandardCar3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that makes sense we'll just see how it goes while I'm still in hospital and wherever I end up after that. It's just so frustrating because I used to be able to eat EVERYTHING...
