    shouldn't say sorry unless you really are.

    Hmmmmm....how do you know I'm not? I am not saying this out of anger....I just think those who are struggling with being overweight should be respected too. Okay....I'll talk....I used to struggle with bulimia/anorexia....kind of traded one type of eating problem for another....now I am doing things better realizing Im not perfect....but NEVER would I have come to a site like this back then to talk about my meager intake and excercise....so I do know both sides....see? You were judging too....these are the kind of subjects that divide those trying to do the right thing here. That's what I'm saying. Who knows? You and I could have gotten along great if it wasn't for this stuff.

    This isn't the thread to go tit-for-tat with others. It's time to drop it.

    You may have food issues but what you're describing sounds similar to when my gallbladder stopped working. Super bloated after eating anything sometimes vomiting or stomach pain but mostly super, duper bloated. I had to have my gallbladder taken out immediately. I was in my early 20s at the time. Another issue may be a gluten or soy intolerance. I have a friend who cannot eat carbs without having serious issues like you are describing. Only exercise will alleviate her problems as well. Good luck I hope you find an answer.

    I had the very same thing happen to me when I was 20; I would get very ill after eating and towards the end the pain was just unbearable! I actually lost 25lbs in a month and a halfs time because I couldn't really keep anything down and had no desire to eat because it was just so ridiculously unpleasant. If I ate two meals in a day during that time it was a lot; I bet I was only eating 300-400 calories it was that bad. A lot of people think it's only greasy food that triggers the gall bladder attacks but honestly almost anything set mine off. When you see the doctor you may want to have him check on your gall bladder; it could be you have stones or it just isn't functioning properly any more. Good luck and feel better! :flowerforyou:

    That sounds really similar to what's going on with me. I'm really anxious for my appointment with the doctor. I just want to get better.

    It's good that you're going to the doc. Tell the doc about your unhealthy relationship with food. I know what you mean, though. I'm always under my own calorie goal and don't want more. Force yourself to eat something post workout, though, preferably something with protein.

    Shame on the over 30's that are being unkind.
    keep your MD appointment check for an underlaying severe health issue. Find a therapist , join support group that he or she recommends. Try and talk with your parents, aunts uncles grandparents, you are very young and seem desperate to find your way. You know you have a problem and that is the first step

    To the OP: I'm not a doctor....you could have a medical issue....you could have an eating disorder. I don't know. But you are taking a step in the right direction...and going to the doctor. You have to start somewhere. That doc may send you to another doc, but at least you are on the road to finding out what the problem is. Like others have said, don't exercise unless you get your 1200 calories. Best of luck to you. Hope you are feeling better soon.

    To Shimmerrzz: not everyone on this site is here for weight loss.

    You clearly have a problem. I look at this post as an attempt to get attention. You clearly have a problem. Don't waste your time going to a gastrointerologist. Find someone who specializes in eating disorders. You look extremely skinny in your profile picture. You aren't the first young lady that has used the discussion forums as a platform to bring attention to themselves....by letting everyone know about how few calories you are eating, how many calories you need to burn through exercise, and fear of feeling fat/ bloated. Please get some help.

    You are ridiculous. How would you have any idea whether she is doing this for attention or not. So judgmental of you to say the things you did when she obviously needs support. It really bother me when people make assumptions about other people's lives when they don't know the person personally.

    The way I look at an attempt to draw attention to oneself is I see it as a cry for help. So let's try to help this young lady however we can.

    There are a lot of great suggestions already, keep them coming, in a positive way.

    Yes, please keep your appointment. They will direct you to a better resource if they aren't the appropriate person.
    Hopefully you have a good relationship with your mom...I would talk to her before anyone else
    Good luck, things will get better...
    And don't mind the crusty old haters.

    keep a food journal and log how you feel. certain foods cause intestine destress. you may be allergic and not know it. my sons girlfriend went through this. one day she could eat carrots, the next day she ate them she'd be doubled over in pain, not eating much in fear of discomfort, always at the gym, not sure which food would cause the problem. turns out she had a bacteria imbalance in her stomach. if you have a boyfriend have him checked as he could be a carrier of the bacteria and spread it to you. my son was checked with her and under went the treatment she went to make sure. he didn't carry it. lucky for her. good luck and god bless.

    Eat foods higher in calories then. Like nuts and avacodos. Or try drinking an instant breakfast.

    This.

    To the OP: don't lose hope. Remember that whatever the issue is, you're just human, and you're not perfect. However, you are worth a better life. Never forget that.

    Best of luck to you.

    To all of you knocking the OP: did you actually read everything she posted? She used to eat 1200 calories per day but just recently started feeling sick all the time and lost her appetite. She doesn't know why, so she made a doctor appointment. That doesn't sound irresponsible or attention-grabbing to me. She's just confused, wants to eat without feeling nauseated, and needs advice.

    I'm on medicine that makes me kind of nauseated some days. On those days, it's really hard for me to eat much, and walking helps my stomach feel better. I totally get where she's coming from. I talked to my doctor, and we reduced my dosage. In her case, it might be something medical. She's listening to her body and acting on it. She's DOING THE RIGHT THING. Calm your tits.

    I have IBS and before I got it under control I would have the same problems but I dont think I ever was as bad as you. When I was younger I had problems like that all the time. IT made me underweight. I think my body is getting back at me because now I need to lose some weight. I dont think I would wait a week to go to the specialists. I has having far less problems and I called my Doctor because I was sick and they got me in for a next day emergency appointment. You could have something seriously wrong. If you have to go to the ER if it gets worse. try a BRAT diet. Bananas, apple sauce, rice and Gluten free toast. My doctor had me do this until I felt better then I started adding things back in. When I found something that I couldnt eat then quit eating it. Fell free to facebook me https://www.facebook.com/faylene.chung
