Help please! I cannot swallow any food! I have no idea why. Ill chew chew chew and spit out...i even have designated bowls and cups for spitting. Im 2 months out...down 68 lbs. I order fast food...chew tons of food and simply spit it all out. I don't get any nutrition. Im worried i could die ory body will slowly shut down. Its not a stricture or anything...i don't even give my body a chance to digest anything. Im scared :-(

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 eat a lot of the same thing over and over again too. chicken took me a good 3 months before I could stomach it' date=' 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.
