BECOMING AN EATING DISORDER?

[kraney 219]

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.
