trouble upping calories

blue_killen

ive been in and out of hospital for the past 4 years, and am really wanting to stop that process. im aware i need to be eating a lot more than i already am, but i find myself either freaking out or feeling sick if i try to have any more than like 500 calories a day.
any tips on increasing this?
im 5'4 and not really sure how much i should be having

If you can't eat above 500 calories a day without feeling sick, or freaking out you need to reach out to your medical team for support.

Definitely recommend speaking to your doctor or treatment team asap. Please take care

am trying to do it without going back to hospital as i usually find it gets worse once i get out

Are you at least talking to your treatment team?

Can you try drinking calories - something like a protein shake that you could make fairly dense

Set a timer and eat couple hundred calories every hour - doesn’t matter what you are eating you need to get calories in

I really don’t think we can offer you the support you need so speak to those who were/are treating you.
