Recovering bulimic... question
| Sun, 03-19-2006 - 9:54am |
I was recently treated in the hopsital for impacted bowels, a severe stomach infection, and an ulcer, all caused by the lovely bulimia. It has scared me enough to want to change, but after a week of not being bulimic, I'm horrified that I've gained close to five pounds in ONE WEEK!!!!! Even as a bulimic I never binged--I just threw up everything I put in my mouth, which was about 1200 calories a day. ANyway, my eating habits have not changed. I still eat pretty healthy and I evercise, but I'm horrified at the weight gain. Has anyone else recovering from mia experienced some weight gain during their recovery? Will it come off? Will it be harder now that I'm no longer bulimic? Any help would be appreciated! I'm shocked and very upset by this. TIA!

Yes, the weight will come off!
More in a second, I wanted to get this to you PRONTO!

Hi Magoo,
You'll have to ask your dietician about this. I think I read somewhere that it takes time for your body to get used to the fiber, and this might be what is happening! I might be wrong, though, so please give her a call :-)
Hi magoo ~~
These questions need to go to your dietician -- I'm not a professional, and any knowledge I have is just from personal experience.
Sorry about that --
Be sure to keep following your plan, you're doing a good job.
