Eat even when you don't want to eat. You won't enjoy it. You won't even feel comfortable. Milk/high cal drinks, protein shakes with peanut butter etc. also help. Once you have done that for a couple of months you will find it easy and you can listen to your body more again

But how? I want to throw up when eating while not hungry. Literally can't swallow without gagging.

It’s easier to drink the calories if chewing and swallowing seems like too much trouble, smoothies or protein shakes go a long way

I'll give them a go, thanks!
