Could this be an eating disorder? I am terrified to gain weight. I will do anything to avoid gaining weight. I weigh myself every other day and if I have gained weight I don't eat that day to lose weight. Like yesterday I noticed that I gained a few pounds and I know in my head that its because I'm on my period therefore its not something I can control and when I'm done I'll lose the pounds but because I gained the pounds today I restricted my eating to only eating once and I only ate the one meal because my therapist made me eat. She called me tonight and when she found out I hadn't eaten today she made me promise I would eat supper. So could this be an eating disorder?

Is only my opinion.... I

believe that you went thru surgery... right? and it must have been very difficult.. and taken tremendous amounts of courage....to take that step...

Given that... perhaps... you are very focused on your weight.... perhaps... not an ED... it sounds like you are "starting" to let your weight control you.... so... my suggestion would be to try and be consistent with your eating... and talk about your fears.. of re-gaining weight.. with your therapist... I would think this would be a common concern amoung people that have had the surgery.. so you aren't alone...

do they offer any type of follow-up counseling... where you got that surgery... or.. someone that you could check in with.. besides your current T...

In the meantime... try to eat consistently.... and not "hop" on the scale.. quiete so much.. cause it can be very triggering..

((((the best for you... you are very brave)))

That's right I did have the surgery. I had gastric bypass. They really don't have any counseling per se. They had a nutritionist on board but she isn't there anymore. If I need any help now he has nurse I can talk with. They refer me to my GP though if I have any questions or tell me to talk to my T. I do plan on talking with my T tomorrow further about it.
