Venting / Suffering

Hey guys

I’m about 2 weeks into dealing with this absolute misery and I just need some support.

At this point, I’m barely averaging 500-700 calories a day and I’m losing so much weight. I haven’t weighed myself in a long time, but my girlfriend saw me after a week and even said I look noticeably thinner.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a small guy. I’m about 5’11 220~ lbs. I definitely have some extra fat to burn, but I’m really scared. I see a lot of people in the sub say “you just need to eat more calories” when people talk about weight loss and it’s really disheartening because I literally just can’t. I feel full so fast and my stomach seems to cramp up and get insanely bloated no matter what I eat.

So far, bananas and applesauce have been the only things that give me LESS trouble. I’m trying to keep my water intake up by sipping, but it hasn’t been easy either.

Has anyone dealt with this? What do I do? I’m so scared of my body shutting down or my organs getting damaged bc I can’t supply my body with the stuff it needs
