Struggling with Gastroparesis: Need Help Regaining Appetite

Anyone know any ways to get appetite back with gastroparesis? I’m on medication for nausea but it doesn’t usually help and I’ve had many different treatments for gastroparesis in the past and nothing has helped. I just wish I could enjoy food again

The only medication I’ve tried that has improved my appetite was zyprexa, but honestly I couldn’t handle it. It made me so hungry but eating anything still made me so so sick. I felt like I was losing my mind caught between relentless hunger and terrible symptoms. But maybe a low dose could be tolerable if you want to try stimulating appetite? I completely understand wanting to enjoy food again. It’s so hard and so frustrating
