Gastroparesis and Body Image Issues

Gastroparesis can cause a lot of problems. Extreme weight gain and weight loss are both very common for those who suffer from Gastroparesis. They can cause extreme mental stress, weight is not a problem with just Gastroparesis so this goes out to all those fighting with their body image and self confidence.

Thank you for sharing this - I'm at 200lbs right now, bloated, and in terrible pain from my GP, but so many doctors just look at me like "how can you be malnourished?" It's very lonely and discouraging, isn't it? Wishing you relief from symptoms, and that we'll all get some better medical treatment!

It is! I've lost a lot of weight since getting off tpn (not the healthy way) I am lucky my doctor doesn't connect nutrition with weight but i got judged by many doctors anytime I was admitted. Hope you are having a good tummy day!
