WebMD: Identifying binge-eating "disorder"



Recommended Posts

I used quotation marks on "disorder" as I don't really know about that -- whether the term is meaningful or real, et al. A rose by any name, however, may be useful around here.

This is good. But, here are some resources with local help in most states and online help as well. I'm glad this is free. I will join the online support group. They have meetings daily on both sites.

Overeaters Anonymous – Find an Overeaters Anonymous group in your area and learn how the 12-steps apply to binge eating recovery. (Overeaters Anonymous)

Eating Disorders Anonymous – Find support and group meetings with other eating disorder sufferers in your area. (Eating Disorders Anonymous)

@@teedsg, good suggestions there.

Because I heard that so many people find OA helpful, I went to two meetings a few years ago. Fortunate for me that NY has many groups, including one called "Agnostics" for people who can't relate to the higher power notion. Even so, the meetings were too ritualistic for me. It struck me that way at the first meeting, yet it was good to go the second time in case my first impression was wrong for me. Lately I've been thinking of trying it again. YOu never can tell...

@@WLSResources/ClothingExch, right. I hope it's different when I go. I'll give it a try.

I couldn't stand the OA meetings. I found them way too rigid.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
