Sooooo I was recently diagnosed with gastroparesis and I’m not sure what to do or eat. Everything I eat makes me uncomfortably full for hours. I do have an appointment with a dietitian next week. Does anybody on here have experience with this?!
My safe foods right now are only:
A sandwich with chips
Noodles
Small bowls of pasta
4 with a few fries
I only eat once a day. And it’s usually something from the list above. I am severely underweight and malnourished on top of already having muscular dystrophy. I really don’t want a feeding tube but my body won’t let me consume much without feeling tooo full 😭😭😭

As someone who's actively going through health changes that is making me have huge issues with eating daily and not giving in to slipping back into my old eating disorder habits, dungeon meshi has done so much for me I could cry.
Especially with today's episode at the end of laios and shiros fight when laios says how obvious it is that he's stronger because he's been eating three meals a day
Like of course I'm not doing well because I haven't been able to eat! Seriously hit me like a slap in the face to get my shit together and eat some breakfast

A wholesome interaction I had with my mom
Me: Mama! Guess what? I actually remembered to eat today and I was hungry!
Mom: Yay!! Let's go to chillis and get lava cakes with Pepsi.
Me: Oh um... I'm actually kind of full-
Mom, with ominuous but wholesome aura: You're eating more today.

Nourishing with a Low Appetite: Primary Edition
Inspired by low appetite & a lifelong complicated relationship with nourishment.
Sufficiently nourishing is critical to wellness and functioning. It can be hindered by disordered thoughts & habits, brain-body disconnect, and low appetite. This list is meant to help with nourishment and weight care!
Many of these get at efficiency. Aim to get in maximum caloric & nutritional value per bite, since you can't take many.

It's kinda bothersome to me how no one speaks about the slight fat-shaming the show had. Like I get being overweight to a point where you need medicine and you can't walk and all is bad, but Florence didn't seen to have any health issues due to her weight and rather, she had issues regarding how people see her and how they treat her because of her appearance, WHICH COULD'VE BEEN A GOOD MESSAGE about how you should respect people and their choice with their bodies and not judge them for it. I know we don't know much about the cancelled episodes, but the idea of Florence losing weight for putty to date her is so so unhealthy and weird. I would've liked it if Florence would try to lose weight for HERSELF rather than putty. Or even just not lose weight at all and gain confidence and respect for herself and not let others insults her. Also what reverend did to her was really shitty and idk why no ones speaking about it. Anyway the episode about her really bothered and saddened me and I wish we had more context and episodes about it.
