BECOMING AN EATING DISORDER?



Recommended Posts

I'm glad that you were able to get the help and for admitting you were having a problem ...while I'm not chewing and spitting things out' date=' I'm afraid of food.... I eat the same things everyday and only enough to get my Protein of 60 grams in

unjury unflavored Protein in my oj

Quest Protein Bar

salad

And for snack - banana apple sauce and peanuts

I have tried real foods but I never get past the first bite and its just not that appealing ...

chicken doesn't feel right going down and I hate seafood ;(. My friend thinks I may be starting to have an eating disorder cause it may be more in my head than actually not being able to eat it[/quote']

I eat a lot of the same thing over and over again too. chicken took me a good 3 months before I could stomach it, as well as eggs took 4 1/2 months. I can only eat what I feel like as many foods do not have the same appeal they once did. I don't know how far out you are but I am 4 1/2 months and eat between 600-800 calories with an average of 70-90 grams of protein. I still do two shakes a day. Nutritionist and surgeon are both ok with my intakes.

Over the phone assesment with a place called melrose institute diagnosed me with an eating disorder...appointment is on Thursday

My main reason for seeing a psychiatrist is the way I think about food and my body after surgery. I'm proud you took that step to call, it's the hardest one. If you ever want to chat I'm at Kraney@aol.com

Sounds like you should see your psychologists not your surgeon.

I do the same thing. 2 shakes a day, and sometimes a nectar Protein Drink too. I eat cottage cheese, yogurt, and beef Jerky mainly. And im ok s ith it. Dont really crave anything else and am happy with it for now.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
