Hi all I tried to start a similar thread, but didn't get as much attentions, so thank you for this one, I was sleeved 08/2013 I was 224lbs and went down to 160, this last year I have regained 30lbs, some had asked how did that happen, I said easy I started binge eating and have recently been diagnosed with BED, and put on medication, I also didn't drink enough Water, or Protein, and no longer have a support group I moved from Long Island NY to Palm Coast FL, I have also noticed that my husband makes it difficult to stay on track, he was off the last Two nights one night he needed donuts at 930 pm and went it bought them home, my 15 y/o daughter also struggling with her weight, and I hid in our rooms to stay away from the Dunkin that was calling to us, the next night it was pizza, and I caved,

But on a good note I have been really trying to be me again and have lost 3 lbs wish me luck,

I am 5'2" and currently weigh 140. I was sleeved January of 2013, so almost 3 years ago. I got too skinny at about a year it and was only 114. I really liked being in the 120-125 range. I really need to get back on track too! Oh, I started at 205, but was 180 on the day of surgery.

[jstachic 61]

yay I jst stepped on to the scale it says (190)184 so that makes 6 Lbs feels good to be back on track

As a relative newbie I am wondering @ how much people are actually consuming who are more advanced than the first few weeks. There seems to be a real disconnect between my mouth and my stomach. I feel something in my stomach and cannot identify it as "full" but just let's say 'xxx' and yet, my mouth will want to have more and more shoveled in. I had the grocer cut up prepared grilled salmon into 2 oz chunks. I ate one yesterday (even tho I wasn't supposed to start til today) and then followed that with almost 3/4 can artichoke hearts (canned veggies permitted) and an ice pop. I couldn't finish the pop. It started coming back on me. But my mouth wanted more. I kept thinking I will feel better if I swallow this or that. As it turnedout, I couldn't even take my meds last nite...no room.

I am still looking for a shrink for support and still breaking off with the old one who is ill and still astounded that I could go thru all the abuse of surgery and not be able to disciplin myself better.

I'm not even sure what I feel....

Do wish there was a databank of shrinks who specalize in bariatrics...

First, look for a psychologist instead of a psychiatrist. Second, ask them what theory of psychology they adhere to. You want someone who is a Humanist that believes in client-centered therapy and has an interest in positive psychology. Or just look up a positive psychologist.

Sounds like your husband needs a talking to. Especially since you've been diagnosed with BED. You have a medical condition that requires certain lifestyle restrictions and he should be compassionate towards you and your daughter. No junk food in the house and no ordering pizza without healthy options (like maybe veggie lovers or supreme with light cheese on thin crust and side salads). Sounds like you and your daughter make up the majority since you're both trying to live healthier, and majority rules baby!

Curious: what did they prescribe you for BED, if you don't mind me asking? I'm sure I had it before surgery and struggle still, but back then it wasn't a diagnosis to be had.

Zzzombrie....do u know any negative shrinks? I did meet a guy who was rabidly opposed to bariatric surgery. He had some sort of contraption in his office that once he felt u r ready, he hooked u up to this'game' on his puter....but idiocy to the side, i have met mostly positive shrinkos.

I just got dx of a stress fracture in my knee. Im grounded...and eating like an ass. Happy new year
