Hey all, just wanted to check in. I am drowning right now, trying to work on it. I can't decide what is wrong with me. I haven't given up, but its a combo of just sick of having to worry about EVERYTHING that goes in my mouth.....recurring binge eating problems.....I don't even know.

Its SO FRUSTRATING that I can't even "go back to basics" correctly. Meat and veggies wont work for me. I can do the veggies part....meat NOPE. It still makes me slimey and pukey!

Anyway, that's where I am.

It's time to give her a call again. Sadly I don't think we ever get over our food issues 100 percent. It just moves to the background and lurks there waiting. No sense struggling alone thiugh,so please give her a call.

Unfortunately her office only does short term, "emergency" services, so you only get 12 visits. ugh I should find someone else, but its hard to find someone who knows anything about eating disorders around here. Stupid small town. And the co-pays were getting crazy.

Maybe your surgeons office could give you some recommendations . I know it's a hassle but you deserve to feel the best you can and your family needs that too. Hang in there and just keep pushing forward. You're on my prayer list now!

Thanks for the prayers! My surgeon's office, sadly, sucks... so they are no help. I got the name of my last therapist when I reached out to my local bariatric group.

Maybe the therapist you saw last could give some Recommendations? I just don't want you to get so far down in the hole that you feel helpless. You have done amazing and deserve so much more than that.
