Worst Case Senario
I had surgery in September. I have lost a little over 70 lbs. I do not dump, therefore can eat anything. I haven't dealt with the food control issues, or the emotional issues of food in my life. I never considered myself bulimic before, but now, if I overeat and feel uncomfortable, I make myself throw up. I can't tolerate vitamins, they stick and come back up up. I know I'm not getting in enough protein and probably enough water. I acknowledge all these problems and I am going to get help, so please don't tell me to do that. What I am wanting to know from you is what kind of damage can I do by this behavior to my pouch? I've always been a closet eater and I think I am just finding a way to "sneak" all my old crutches, like chips and crackers, and then I feel guilty or sick because I've eaten too much, so I throw it up. I'm getting scared. I hope everyone who is reading this understands that this surgery WILL NOT do the work for you and if you're doc doesn't require a psych evaluation, maybe you should get one anyway. I wish I would have.
