I think this is common for all of us rather we want to admit it or not - and if you're not - you will get there (I'm at 15 years) I am very conscience of intake vs. bowel output and alot of times will not eat until the laxatives have worked I learned this the hard way by ending up in the ER with intestines so backed up I was vomiting the contents of my intestinal track... Those CT scans where a good time haha... not. And the four days following of extreme laxatives I guess was a party in comparison! You learn to judge what goes in and how much...
hasn't anyone referred you to a nutritionist? SMALL meals are the ONLY way to live - no BIG (regular people size) meals lots of fiber lots of water you have to eat or your body goes into starvation mode - that's the weight gain it will hold onto everything - that's def not what you want!!! make sure you are having sufficient output (I'm also a CNA and use work terms often) for your intake and that will help! contact me if there's anything else I can answer for you

Yes, I hate to eat because it makes me so miserable. I become so
bloated/distended and have severe gastroparesis. But, somehow with the
vomiting I CAN NOT lose weight, but continue to gain?
