Vomiting post sleeve

[SM16 10]

I’m scared I’m developing bulimia. I’m 6 months out and down 87lbs. I’m so happy with my success and want to continue to lose (ideally I’d like to lose about 40 more). Lately I’ve become so scared of stretching my sleeve. It started with me eating past my point a little then throwing up because I was uncomfortable. Now I’m doing it daily if I eat more than I should. I know I need help but I don’t even know how to start finding the help. I’m scared I’m stretching my sleeve and scared of the consequences of throwing up so frequently but I can’t seem to stop. Please help or tell me how you got over this if it’s happened to you.

Seems to me the way to get over this is to see a therapist who has experience with eating disorders.

Do it sooner than later, you may well be compromising your future health https://www.eatingrecoverycenter.com/conditions/bulimia/health-risks

I couldn't agree more. There is a reason you continue to do this to yourself. I saw a therapist my first 2 years post surgery as I knew my food addiction ran deep in me. I needed help discovering what I was trying to solve by over-eating.

But that is my story. You need to discover yours.
