hi there, i want to thank you for talking about gastroparesis and sharing your experiences with tube feeding. i may or may not have gastroparesis as well, my gastric emptying test was inconclusive, but my stomach issues are pretty disabling and i have wondered if tube feeding might someday be necessary for me. hearing about your experience makes it a lot less scary sounding! i wonder if you would be comfortable sharing a little more about how tube feeding has improved your health, and impacted your daily life (for better or worse)? are there things you can do now that you couldn’t have done before tube feeding, or vice versa? feel free to take your time answering, or not answer at all if it’s too personal. either way, i appreciate you!

I'd love to talk more about it!

I can empathize with your GES results. They can just end up being just a snapshot of your entire experience, and unfortunately they can just catch you on a "good" day where your emptying times are better. I know some people will intentionally trigger flares to get more accurate numbers on their study.

I'll preface with a little more information about me. I was misdiagnosed for 16 years with Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome and dealt with that and other vague GI diagnoses like GERD and IBS-D episodically and it gradually got worse over time. I was never given a GES until 2022. After I got pregnant and gave birth in 2020 I drifted into this pattern of daily morning vomiting, then I went into a flare last August that I never left. I was diagnosed with gastroparesis in Nov 2022, caught covid for the first time at the end of Nov, and got my tube Jan 2023.

Tube feeding has significantly improved by health. I was slowly dying from starvation ketoacidosis in December 2022. But even when I was eating orally I struggled with severe gastric malabsorption for years and often felt symptoms of malnutrition and saw minor malnutrition on labs and never understood why because I was eating, but because of fatphobia I was never given a GES and I was never taken seriously until I lost a significant amount of weight. In the most severe moments I was having constant diarrhea and vomiting and I've had so many hospitalizations due to dehydration and vomiting alone when I was eating orally.

I'm about 7 months in and I'm getting about 1300-1500ish calories a day, which is not my goal and it needs to be increased. But the difference with it being in my jejunum is that I'm absorbing 100% of those calories and it has helped my energy and my immune system so much. I've been able to significantly slow the weight loss while we investigate the root cause of my gastroparesis, as well as test for intestinal dysmotility. My hair is growing back, my nails are stronger, and I'm having general improvement of my IBS-D.

That being said, being on feeds and fluids, especially continuous feeds, it does impact my lifestyle a lot. I need accommodations at work. I can't let my feeds get over room temp or fluctuate temp too much. When my bags are full and it's in my backpack I'm carrying 2L of liquid and a pump, plus an additional medical bag with supplies. I even have to sleep at an angle to prevent aspiration. And the fun of stoma care. Cats also seem to have a taste for formula and tubing, which has banished my fur children from our bedroom at night. My medical supplies take up half of my dining room. It's certainly a major life change.

But without all of that, I would be dead. For a lot of us, being without alternate nutrition means either death or severe suffering from symptoms of gastroparesis. This is my symptom tracker for vomiting over the past year. You can see the stark difference between July-December and January-now.

This alone was enough for me to justify for myself that a medical device was necessary. Even without the starvation, I still have two hernias from vomiting and developed chronic gastritis secondary to the GP.

The one thing with tube feeding is that your digestive system is like a muscle. If you don't use it, you lose it. And I've definitely noticed a decline in my capacity to tolerate anything in my stomach for long, even liquids. I'm grieving this and learning how to live with this because there isn't an alternative for me at this moment. I'm still trying, I use the gastric port to drain a lot just to keep what little of my stomach's function it still has.

tw disordered thoughts

iiii hit my gw2 2 days ago that means i’ve officially lost 10kgs | 22lbs since mid of august & there is no better time than now bc i’ve decided to do a scary metabolism week & this week is perfect for it. soo i stopped tracking my weight & calories. that’s why there were no annoying october tracker posts. after the week i‘ll go back to my diet plan & won’t weight myself for another week (this will be the toughest part). going from weighing myself 5 times a day to not weighing myself for 2 weeks is not easy but i know if i will step on the scale during & after my metabolism week i’ll kms. my goal is to hit my gw3 fast so i need some extra boost. it‘s so scary & i probably overthought this plan a 100 times but this week there are too many events i can‘t avoid eating many calories.. so it’s either guilt tripping myself or use this week as a metabolism week (:

Wellness Wednesday:

The Groundhog Day Diet

Sunday I officially started my Groundhog Day Diet (the same daily meal on repeat). Obviously the name of the diet stems from the 1993 Bill Murray film, but the month long challenge was more inspired by Morgan Spurlock's 2004 documentary, Super Size Me (a challenge to eat McDonald's for 30 days straight).

I settled on the following specific daily foods for the month:

Lunch:

Turkey & Swiss Sandwich, a Side of Baby Carrots, a Cup Peaches

Snack:

A Serving of Trail Mix

Supper:

Bowl of Soup and a Glass of Milk.

All ^that^ comes out to approximately 1,290 Calories.

Now, I didn't necessarily do this to keep better tabs on my calories - no - I merely did it to see if I could do it - or - better yet see how long before my tongue goes mad.

As well, I am hoping this "diet" will assist my pocketbook as I have planned out my meals, purchased a large majority of all my fixings, thus hopefully minimizing my grocery bill for the month of October. The only items I forsee having to purchase is fresh Turkey, Bread, Milk, and Carrots.

So far, 4 days in, things aren't too shabby. I wish I would have thrown in some popcorn to booster my snack intake... but... I'll know better for next time.

Weight Loss Tracker

So,, I decided to create an accountability post to help me stay on track. I'll be updating it monthly. I don't care how much weight I'm losing, as long as I'm losing 🤧 I had this in my notes but was too hesitant to post...until now. I'm afraid that people will judge me because I'm starting out on a much heavier weight 😔

The point is to set smaller, realistic goals every month instead of big ones (because I get overwhelmed so easily 🙄) so it'll encourage me instead

August calorie tracker: Day 1

Tracking calories again because it makes me feel productive and show's me how I'm actually doing. Also I got the calendar from RIKCALS on Twitter

My eating patterns are beyond chaotic and so is my schedule. Literally had two cups of milk yesterday and like 4 bites of a burrito and then today I gobbled down a 12-inch sandwich and a bunch of chips 😭😭😭??? Plus yesterday I worked a 13 hour shift I feel like the days should be swapped 💀

[kelseys-better-half]

Weighed in this morning at 339 pounds. I was 338.4 pounds so I’m frustrated.

Yes, .6 pounds is small. It’s also probably not .6 pounds of fat.. My calorie deficit in MFP is pretty large, so even on days I go a little over I’m still within range. I’m also a little backed up (💩) and have been for a couple of days. Which I also don’t get because I’m eating an adequate amount of fiber and, though I’m not hydrated enough, I’ve been drinking more water.

Oh well.

I reflected some on my carb fest last night. I think a big factor was how TIRED I was yesterday. And I think my main reason for exhaustion was not sleeping enough throughout the week, so I decided to set some habits that aren’t necessarily weight loss related. They will just help me get in a daily routine, which will be very important for when school starts again in August.

I’ll live up to my freak in the sheets mug and put it in a spreadsheet later, but I wrote them down in a note for now and am checking off what I’ve done so far. I’ll share the spreadsheet tonight.

Today is going to be a busy Saturday. I need to do some cleaning, and I also have some work to do. Outside of my habits/creating a habit tracker, my big goals are:

1) Pick up trash and dirty clothes in my room

2) Put away the clothes that have been in the dryer for three days

3) Do a SkiErg interval workout

4) Clean my bathroom

5) Complete two reports and some data analytics for work

6) Find an online class or YouTube video to work on some computer skills for work
