i went down to below bmi 10 and ended up in hosp for 18months so its not worth it.. i know its not that easy tho... i think its important to try eating slowly, wiv fluids, try sugar free jelly that'll help your tummy get used to havin some kind of substance in it, try fruit, anything light, if you manage that move on from there but small portions, i find it helps to start wiv safe foods.. most importantly do do do try to drink, thats what put me in hospital as i hadnt drank atall and had to have a drip.. look after yourself *hugs*

I would suggest things like soups, jellies, porridge- thats my one for when i cant seem to chew or swallow, drink plenty of fluids- esp lemonade which will help your electrolyte balance, def talk to your doctor about it later tho, anyway you could get some buildup type drinks? as startin to pyut something back in your tummy may help you start to eat again

Good luck witrh the doctors later

How are you doing Emma?

Could you perhaps try drinking some Complan or Slim fast or something. My drs made m drink complan when I was at my worst, just so my body could get some nutrients and keep me going. Take little sips now and then, perhaps put it in a flask or something so it will keep fresh.

Keep safe, keep trying, things will get easie

Love

Dolphin - How is your eating going at the mo?? Have you managed anything?? I agree that cup-o-soups are a good idea tho I've never drunk one and had those bloody hug things - that advert is false advertising!!!

But seriously - stess definately affects the appetite but when you dont eat it can then have a profound affect on your mood. What about milkshakes? - I am obsessed with BK ones (cos the cals are much lower than McD). Even if you cant eat you must drink - even just little sips. I know it might sound impossible but is far better than ending up hooked to a drip.

Take care xx

Good to hear that things are getting better - you probably wont feel like eating much to begin with but can gradually start including more into your diet - you stomach is probably confused! Take care xx
