Hey July 08 Bandsters! I used to write on here right after my surgery, but since I have not been on in a while, it kicked me off and I lost my username. I have been struggling and have fallen off the bandwagon, so I as we start into our 2nd year, I am getting back on!! I am in college, and since I eat out with my friends (who don't know) I tend to eat more than I should, and end up throwing up. Huge problem. I have been doing it for a while, but the sad thing is, I have not realized how often I was doing it. I just thought of it as "I am in pain because I have eaten too much, so now I will correct what I have done." It is not because my band is too tight, I just am scared people are going to notice that I am not eating, and now all they notice is me going to the bathroom. It was the easy way out, but now I don't know how to stop. I am going to go to dinner with them and just eat before. Also, I have been drinking with meals, not getting in my protein or vitamins, and just not eating right. I am doing a master change!! And to start, I need some protein ideas. Favorite shake? Has anyone else had similar problems? I feel that I am on the verge of bulimia, and I am going into see my doctor and a therapist (since I think it is more mental) right away. Thanks!!!
