I'm a binge eater. I have BPD and one of the traits is overeating. When I feel anxious, or stressed out, I will turn to food as my comfort. I will eat large quanitites of food for a good 2 hours,until I get so sick to my stomach. I haven't purged yet, and usually don't have the feeling to throw up. I just overeeat. It's the way I have been coping.

Well, I decided to pursue bariatic surgery. I have been to a dietician a couple of times and will be seeing one for the next year until after my surgery. She gave me some good tips and suggestions which would help curb my appetite. I have to go thru a strict dietary plan at first after the surgery, liquid diet, etc.

My therapist wants me to see an eating disorder specialist too. I think it's a good idea, but with so many different appointments with surgery & therapy, this is getting really expensive . My dietician visits are not covered by my insurance. Anyway, I'm trying to find any overeaters out there like myself.
