Thank you so much for your post. I am 3 weeks post-op, and have symptoms of anorexia developing already. I have never had an addictive personality, except for mindless eating constantly, so I am struggling with my new "addiction" to losing weight. I am so afraid of failing at this that I am over sensitive to eating and keep meticulous journals (I track calories, fat, protein, fluid, exercise, and emotions).
Since surgery, I have been completely repulsed by food. I eat sugar free jello every few days, and that is pretty much it. I am drinking 4-6 cups of 1% milk daily and am battling my desire to switch to skim milk or water. I do take 3 multi-vitamins on a typical day, and add a calcium supplement to my milk every few days. I know I cannot live on milk and vitamins alone, but the smell, taste, and texture of almost all foods completely repulses me.
To the person who posted about the feeding tube, thank you, that was a reality check for me as I am scared to death of the implications of my actions.
I have tons of people who keep telling me I am looking great already, and it has gone to my head. I want to lose more weight fast before my metabolism slows down (which I know it is already).
I am also blessed with amazing parents and friends who love me and would do anything for me, they support everything I do. I am lying to them all about what I eat and drink, and I don't know why. Through writing this, I have convinced myself to contact my surgeon and try to set up a therapist. Thank you so much for all of your honesty, it isn't easy to share our problems with the world.
