I used to be bulimic - I stopped purging when I got pregnant with my 1st child but continued to binge. I went through alot of treatment to stop purging and binging. It was too late - I had gained so much weight being free from the purging that I could never get back on track - I never knew moderation - I only know how to deal with stuffing my emotions. I continue to binge but Im so big now and so hungry my binges take alot of food to satisfy me.

I will have my lap band put in on March 7th, 2012. I am hoping I will feel hungry and then not hungry. That only a small amount of food will satisfy me. I am so afraid to do something to the band I am hoping this PLUS therapy will help stop the binging when Im stressed out. It took a beautiful baby boy growing inside me to make me stop purging away his nutrients and now I hope the band will help me with the other part.

Please get counselling if your bulimic - its no way to live. I did it for 15 years before I actually took control.
