I recently lost someone close to me and i got really depressed and didn't want to do anything or speak to anyone. I couldn't be bothered to move, eat or nothing. I wanted to see how long i could go on for without eating.
its been just over 3 wEeks that i havent ate for and i feel really low and ill. Sometimes i get dizzy and feel like im about to collapse. Iv been feeling sick and sometimes being sick. Iv never been in so much pain in my life. Anyway im still not over the death of him, i will never get over it but iv kinda learned to accept that he has gone. So i wanna eat again but i cant. I just dont feel hungry. I tried to eat erlier but i couldnt swollow nothing because i felt sick. I’ve forced myself to chew and swollow but i be sick and bring it all back up. So how do i stop this and get back to normal? what do i do now?
Answer:
Redhead 27, please don't answer questions if you don't know what you are talking about. People can survive for many weeks without food if they’re drinking fluids.
In answer to the question, you need to get medical help to aid your recovery.
If you have not eaten solid food for three weeks you’ll have to re-introduce food into your diet very carefully to avoid possible complications.
Visit your GP or pharmacy for advice. You can get some food drinks in a can (Super Wate On). These will at least allow you to get some calories into your body without the danger of causing a blockage in your gut, which has now been empty for so long that it will require “re-educating” to cope with solid food.
Keep on drinking lots of fluid and perhaps you could manage some soup. A small slice of toast, chew it well before swallowing, may stay down.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that you speak to someone about this.
I'm sorry for your loss but I'm totally certain that your friend wouldn't want you to do this to yourself.
Answer:
technically you can last up to 40 days without food.
when you don't eat for a long period of time, you stomach kind of shrinks (not literally i don't think)
anyway, you often find that you don't need to eat as much as before you stopped eating.
this is why some people who suffer from anorexia gain weight faster when they begin eating again.
Answer:
The body can only go for a week without food.
You would be in the hospital about 8 days after totally starving yourself.
But anyways,I would definately go to a doctor, he or she would be best to talk to about this so they have the ability to tell you how much and what to eat till you're back to normal.
Answer:
Call an ambulance immediately. It can actually be hazardous to eat at this point. And FYI, you have no idea what kind of damage you are doing to your organs and the internal systems they maintain. Long lasting (and quite possibly irreversible) effects are imminent. You DO NOT want to ruin the rest of your life over a temporary sorrow. You need help.
Answer:
btw you can survive for 3 weeks without food what i think you should do is drink plenty of liquids for the time being and then you should be able to eat after a while and if you still cant i would tell your mom and go to the docter cause its posible you became anorexic or belemic
Answer:
this is a lie. your body would not survive for more than a few days without food, let alone 3 weeks… its just not possible.
Answer:
You should go to your doctor and tell him how long you've gone without eating. This can be very hazardous.
