Going inpatient for my ED and needing some XL pjs/pants and or some size 16 pants..

I'm so embarassed to type this but one of the psych meds they have me on have had me put on about 35 lbs. It is finally coming off BUT I'm about to go into a long term treatment facility for my eating disorder and I don't wanna have to go buy new clothes until I get in there. All I have are like 2X (which if you take the strings out will be too big) and a couple sets of XL but I'd rather NOT pull the strings out of them.

I'm in Indy regularly and am willing to travel. Thanks a ton.

Misty,

Sorry, but I started this journey in a size 4 X, and am now just down to XL's /18's. 

Good luck on your hospital stay.  I hope you can get adjusted on your meds, and get the help you need for your eating disorders.

Hugs

What kind of eating disorder do you have? I was curious because I think I have an eating disorder but, I'm not sure.

I'm not really feeling very comfortable discussing it a lot here on the board but I am severely bulimic (multiple purging episodes, numerous laxatives and diuretics daily)  to the point one of the specialists in ED's in Bloomington referred me elsewhere because of the medical complications and they also have me coded as ED NOS (which is eating disorder non other specified) and that is because I yo yo between my ED behaviors. Some days I purge, etc, other days I fast for multiple days at a time, plus.

It is dangerous and if you are doing it you need to seek help immediately. Contact your surgeons office and dietitian and see who they recommend. I do out patient care through the Charis Center off Intech Blvd in Indianapolis. I have to have blood work done twice a week to check my electrolytes because I have thrown my body into such a spiral.

It's not worth it but it's beyond my control at this point. I'm controlled by the scale, what I see on it, etc and need more help than I'm able to get on an outpatient basis.

Do yourself a favor and don't let it get near as far as mine has. I've been struggling for damn near 2 years even when I was having my complications, instead of feeding 4 times a day I'd only do 1-2... It's a deadly habit to begin.

ED's after WLS is not as uncommon as people may think. I developed ED NOS also. I don't meet the criteria for bulimia, because I don't "binge". It's a struggle. Try to get help.

I didn't binge either except like twice then they decided it couldn't be binging lol then they still left it bulimia I have no idea.

My heart goes out to you. I have known others who have suffered like you have with an eating disorder. I am currently working on a degree that will allow me to help clients in your condition. Even though I do not have an eating disorder per se, I have stuffed my emotions and eaten way too much. In my book, that is an eating disorder. I hope that you always have support and the encouragement that you need. Just know I will be praying for you throughout all of this. Take care...
