I Cannot Eat

[cypher]

I'm scared to post because I might break a rule, but I have the same problem. I try to drink those ensure drinks - the chocholate ones. I hav'nt tried any other flavor. But those seem to do ok. Sometimes I'll throw it up and it's a chore to get down. I know I can go for about 2 to 2½ weeks without eating, so drinking something is the important part. Without drinking something, you'll be gone. But good luck to you.

cypher- have you ever tried Ensure puddings? -Much less volume to try to consume but same calories/nutrients.

Thank GOD! My family have been acusing me of becoming Anorexic, and this actually has to do with the PTSD. I'm fine (as in no additional disorders thank God)!

I've been having trouble for almost 3 weeks.

I feel nauseated at the smell of food, and I can smell a lot right now.

I also keep forgetting I'm hungry or am meant to eat something.

I am afraid to go out in case I faint, because I faint if I pannick - especially if I havn't eaten/drank enough...

I have dry biscuits, vegimite toast, water, gatorade, chips. I did have some beans, but it took a whole day to eat one can (re-cooked about 3 times)!

I feel like I have the flu and it won't go away.

But I've got energy and feel fit most of the days... except with stairs.

Thanks to synisthesia for original post
and everybody else for your posts.

If anyone can suggest anything further would greatly appreciate it.

I am trying to figure out a way to go food shopping without pannicking or fainting.

I'm also bleeding from the bowels...so this may have something to do with faint feeling, but I'm hematalogically stable last time they checked (over a month ago).

But I have some energy, which I wouldn't have if I was anemic. I know this.
