bulimia

[KingOxNyc 22]

I'm almost a year post op I've lost 114lbs

But lately (the last few months) I've been removing whatever I ate...it's becoming more and more frequent. I'm afraid to go back to what I looked like. I don't know if I'm dealing with bulimia

I'm a 33 year old man....feeling like a 16 year old teenage girl.

What do you mean removing?

By removing do you mean that you're purging?

I think it might be key for you to start tracking your intake again.Just so you can see how many cals you are actually eating.Then to maybe eat small frequent meals might help as well.

Being an ex bandster my sleeve did the purging for me for a while and I realized that this might become a problem fast.

You know what the problem is.Now,make a plan to deal with it.Maybe see a behaviour therapist if you cannot cope on your own.

Good luck.

You really do need to stop immediately. Bulimia can cause major problems with your esophagus, worst case scenario being cancer and when part of the esophagus is removed they use part of the stomach to repair and replace. When you have a sleeve there is no spare stomach to use. Please seek some help for this problem before you do some damage.

You may want to talk to a person who deals with eating disorders. Its great to have people tell you to stop but when it comes down to it you are dealing with a disorder that may be hard to stop. I'm in the same boat, but my issues seems to be around not eating enough. Each day I'm watching as I try to end the day with 0 calories. I do stay focused on getting in 80 grams of Protein but then I have to work out and expend at least the same amount of calories I took in. Yea, not good. I am scheduled to talk to someone about this because I don't think it's healthy but I do think it may be more common than we think. After all obesity is an eating disorder that we have dealt with and I bet its not all that unusual to go to the other side of the spectrum.
