Struggling with Gastroparesis and Weight Loss

I can’t deal with the stomach stuff. My gastroparesis is making it so hard to eat but I can’t lose weight because my weight is already low. I tried one med for it (reglan), but had bad side effects so I’m trying another as soon as the pharmacy fills it (erythromycin). I really hope it helps but what if it doesn’t? Like what’s next?

Sorry to hear it, Im struggling with my weight rn too. I'm 17 and I'm just over 90lbs. Something I found as a safe food with some substance is the ensure protein drink(some have a minimal amount of dairy so that is the only draw back). It helped me at least keep the weight I am at and it didn't hurt me as much as other substance meals. Hope this new med works for you and you get some lasting relief ❤️ sending all the hugs🫂
