I feel extremely full even after eating very little. However, I don't throw up. I have to spend a lot of time laying down and recovering after a meal. Could this be a sign of gastroparesis?

How much can you drink before getting sick? I drank one bottle of Mike's hard lemonade tonight after eating three donuts, and I feel nauseous. Should I wait a while after eating before I drink anything? Or should I just not drink at all? Recommendations?

Any endo warriors with Gastroparesis and EDS? Most of my endo is on my bowels and I’m scared to let my endo grow too much because of the wear and tear GP and EDS can cause on their own. How did you approach the situation?

currently recovering from GJ tube surgery, it hurt really bad at first but now after two days it's tolerable but it's hard to sit up on my own. we're trying to figure out a good rate for my feeds so i don't get too nauseous. i have a farrell bag hooked up which helps my nausea too since the gas makes me nauseous super easily. i hope it heals well and quickly, and that my guts get used to the tube i can see the tube pulse to my heartbeat it's so strange o-O

hello alike, it’s been a while. I wanted to update you on what life has been like the past year (from what I remember.) my last post was about gastroparesis. I was hospitalized twice in april, each for a week, one week apart. I couldn’t keep anything in and nobody could tell me why. endocolonoscopy was clear, x-ray was clear, ETC. a few months pass, I had a GES (gastric emptying study) done in july after scheduling it in march. my GI was very unhelpful and so I went to one of the fellows who treated me in the hospital in april. he diagnosed me with gastroparesis (mild-moderate at the time,) he referred me to a GI/motility specialist in the practice that specializes in EDS and gastroparesis patients. it was a long wait, so we tried a medication in the meantime. summer passed, I was able to have a meal a day during vacation, but it quickly ended, even with the proper exercise and tips/tricks. I was on a liquid diet by the time fall came, and was slowly losing weight. I finally got in with the new GI in october, and he was very good. I got patches for nausea (scopolamine), dissolvable tablets for nausea (zofran/ondansteron), and we discussed every option available and left for me. I ended up going to get the opinion of a surgeon he knows very well and who used to work in the practice, he was also very good. we decided on one option first, and since it’s temporary, if it worked, we would do the surgery with a feeding tube placement. this decision made me nervous, but it was the last, the only option left. the day after thanksgiving, my new GI did the first procedure, and we scheduled the surgery (pyloroplasty with jejunostomy) for before christmas. at this point, I had lost 30+ since september, and it was december. the procedure did work some, and my surgeon was worried about my health and concerned for my wellbeing, so I got into the OR fast. I was in the hospital for 3-4 days, and the care was awful. my surgeon and surgical team sent me home early with my mom’s medical experience and I started my recovery there. there were complications with the supplies at first but it’s being handled. I’m currently trying to strengthen my body and muscles, socialize as much as I can, and interact with my surroundings (interests, activities, ETC.) I want to get back to where I was, by making more progress. with this gastroparesis fight, I’ve also had other battles. with family, with myself, with others. it’s been a lot to deal with, and I haven’t always done my best. some, if not most of my worst days were in 2022. I lost some family after my breakup with my abuser, but I also started testosterone, had top surgery, and am preparing for college. I’ve found some old friends and am making new ones. I’m going to appointments, I’m cleansing my space, and I’m letting myself rest, too. in time, I’ll heal from my trauma, I’ll be able to maintain my chronic illnesses/disabilities again, and I won’t feel so stuck (because I shouldn’t have to be the glue unless I want to!) so, I need you to know, these things don’t go away, no. sometimes they come back stronger, but you are not weak. we can level out the playing field, I think that might make it easier. one step at a time, in the right direction. and when they arrive, if they haven’t already, the right people will always be there for you through all of it and more, but most importantly you need to be there for yourself, too. that’s how it’ll happen. never forget that.

hi everyone! I'm currently in the process of being diagnosed with gastroparesis. I've lost just over 30lbs since August. I had to delay getting a test due to finding out I was pregnant. unfortunately, I did have a miscarriage and need to make a follow up with my doctor to get the test. in the mean time, I'm looking for suggestions for a good meal replacement drink (powder, or liquid) I'm desperate at this point and I need to do something in the mean time until I'm able to get back in with the doctor. something that tastes pretty decent and I'm a huge vanilla lover. any suggestions are appreciated❤️

how can i figure out what foods my gut may be sensitive to? i am getting surgery for a GJ tube so i can finally have stable nutrition, but i do wonder if it's certain foods that are making my symptoms worse besides just gastroparesis & other stuff. i get gut pain a lot and i have been struggling with constipation since i was a baby, according to my mom. my plan for after surgery i am going to work on my nutrition and figure out what i need most and what sensitivities i may have. me and my family already eat organic, but organic alone isn't going to help any other food sensitivities besides non-organic ones like dyes and alike. if you've been on a similar path before i would love your advice 💙
