to Eat Or Not to Eat?
Posted: 10-27-04 17:39pm

I have been sick for a couple months. I had a colonoscopy and they found colitis. Through the course of my illness, I have lost 15 pounds. A couple days ago, I started feeling really sick again and have had no appetite. I forced myself to eat a little, felt worse, and became more bloated. I kept the food down though. I once had a doctor tell me that you shouldn't eat if you don't have any appetite, that your body won't let you starve. When I followed this advise, that's how I lost 8 of my pounds in 2 weeks. I am 5'5'' and 120 pounds and medium framed. I can't lose another 15 pounds. I don't want to somehow damage myself more though.
