Week 3

I am still struggling day to day, vomiting in the evenings is turning out to be a normal activity. I am trying new food all the time, I have found that onions upset my stomach. I am consuming just about 700-900 calories a day and sadly I don't seem to be losing any weight. All the blogs I have read seem to show people losing a ton of weight the first month, I am hoping my body is just slow. I will admit the first 2 weeks I wasn't moving around a lot but by the end of last week and this week I am going to school full time working part time, I am taking my dog for regular walks and I am hoping that next week I can start back at the Gym.

Most of the struggles that I have seem to be mental which I knew would be the problem. My mind tells me I want more food than I have room for. I feel hungry a lot but I fill up super easy as well. If I even eat the smallest amount too much I am sick. I am taking a seniors multi vitamin which I am hoping will help with my energy level. On the plus side I am sleeping way better and can manage on my side for small amounts of time, however I can not lay on my stomach at all.

So I sent my nutritionist an email as I don't seem to be losing weight as fast as I should be. I am only consuming 700-900 calories a day and still throwing up in the evening. She said I need to start consuming a min off 1200 cals ASAP. I almost laughed, I am barley able to keep down what I'm eating now. Dave and I are going to work out some high protein and nutrient dense foods to help. Also she said I should hold off on the gym for a few days as my calorie intake is dangerously low.

Tonight I did my best to get as many calories into my body as I could. Its not as easy as it sounds. I feel bloated and sick. I am trying to eat as much protein as I can and make healthy calorie dense choices. On my second night of eating more I felt ok. Still crazy bloated, the problem was on the 3rd day I woke up feeling horrible. My stomach was hard as rock, I couldn't even take in water without feeling uncomfortable.  Hopefully this feeling will go away soon and I can just get on with this journey.
