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

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
