have become extremely malnourished and having extremely hard time with appetite and gaining weight back after emergency surgery.
I was diagnosed with crohns around 35 days ago and things got progressively worse. I was already starting to lose weight and was in and out of ER for different problems. last saturday while in the hospital my colon perforated and I had to have emergency surgery for it, I had sepsis as well.
Since getting out of the hospital on wednesday, I have a had a very hard time with eating and having appetite. During the month of august I had a fear with food and it may have transferred a trauma response now. I also have a hard time swallowing and have to eat very slow. This is very concerning to me as I need to gain this weight back. I understand it will be slow but I just hope I can do it. I also understand my stomach is probably tiny. any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated
