Need help im falling into an old habit



Recommended Posts

I recently just started making myself vomit it was something I use to do before surgery n I stopped over a year now. I can't understand y I'm doing this again I have an idea that maybe it's cause my stomach feels so full all the time. Has anyone experience this or do I need to speak to my surgeon?? PLEASE SEND ME YOUR ANSWERS

Don't over stuff your self to the point that you are so full you want to vomit. vomiting is damaging to your teeth and esophagus. It can cause esophageal cancer if vomiting is done for a long period of time. you may want to speak to a therapist/psychologist to help with this eating disorder. My father did this and probably still does because he didn't want to gain weight but wanted to eat bad food.Prior to surgery I became desperate and I almost started to do it but didnt like the feeling. Keep making healthy food choices and Good luck.

You say you are feeling full all the time... Are you eating over the recommend amounts? Or is it happening no matter how little you eat?

I think I'm eating to fast but I've noticed I haven't been having any BM in the last 4 days could that be it?

I would highly recommend making an appointment with a psychologist as soon as possible.

Are you making yourself throw up from eating or another way? If so, please talk to someone about it, you could really hurt yourself please..

Eating to fast will definitely put you in pain from being overly full! This is something I've had problems with since surgery also.. It's very important to measure the proper amount and for us and sit down at the table and "think" about the pace and the "process" of our eating.

Forcing yourself to throw up afterwards is an altogether different issue I think stemming from past behaviors. It's something that you should definitely talk to someone about to try and work through the thought process behind it.

Oh as for the bm yes that could be contributing to the uncomfortable feeling.. I have to take stool softeners sometimes for that issue.

Thank u for the advice I'm waiting for my nurse to return my call so I'm going to drink Water cause I'm scared to eat anything until I have BM I really think I'm constipated its causing me to fill do full that I'm vomiting my food up . Something needs to come out so something can go in.????

If I eat to fast or if something does go down right I have to vomit and I don't care for that so I suggest eating slower and you said you haven't had a bm in a few days that can cause other problems. I take stool softners daily because I was having issue so try that

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
