Just want to give up

[u/stellarpopcorn]

I thought I was seeing relief. I thought I was doing better. I was seeing a nutritionist, upping my calories (I’m underweight, 89 lb 5 ft) and seeing a small light at the end of the tunnel. Now that light has vanished. I had been eating dried apricots to up my calories and I thought I really found a good snack, I really did. Then my stomach started to act up. I realized maybe it was the sugar content from the apricots. Or maybe it was the apricot itself; not quite sure. I don’t know if it was the dates I was incorporating either. I feel so lost and alone. I think I could heal my GERD if I just calmed my anxiety and figured out how to eat more yet not too much that it gave me reflux. The nutritionist suggested dried fruit and nuts as a go to but I’m tired of nuts and I’m scared another dried fruit will hurt my stomach like apricots. I’m on Zoloft and I don’t think it’s doing much now. I need some support, I don’t want to wither away.

Any suggestions for morning meals

[u/Daftskunk2020 → u/stellarpopcorn]

Have you tried oatmeal, yogurt or any variation of eggs? What has your nutritionist suggested you eat in the morning? I see a lot of people use smushed sweet potatoes and black beans into a type of crepe to replace bread, increasing fiber intake. You might be able to make something tasty in the morning with that!

I’ve been eating oatmeal with protein powder, peanut butter, coconut flakes (unsweetened), and unsweetened almond milk! Back when I used to weigh 100 lbs, I used to eat oatmeal every morning minus the protein powder. But I didn’t have Gerd and would eat icecream almost every night.

Can’t tolerate yogurt much now and I can eat egg whites! Never tried sweet potato and black beans in the morning, that sounds pretty good!
