Have been wondering lately if there has been any research into people developing eating disorders after surgery ? I'm thinking it must be quite easy to be too extreme with your eating and end up becoming anorexic/bullimic. Not that I am, just something that keeps popping into my head, and I've not seen it mentioned on here.

Hi Carrie
Good question
I often wonder about that too ..
I am still obsessed with food but eat relativly healthily.. I am starting to get people say i am losing too much weight but i am not at governments 'healthy' BMI yet ..
What happens if you keep losing weight and go to a low bmi ??

I'm surprised this isn't mentioned (to my knowledge) at any consultations - I would think it's probably quite widespread, as it seems to me that a lot of people go off food completely, so to take it that extra level would not be too difficult.
Not that I'm anywhere near being like that - just wondered is all!

My team and close friends think I'm getting one.... I can't see it. Logically I know they are right. Logically I know just 5 more kilos. Had to have intravenous vitamin infusion, this is a wake up call but just 5 more kilos....

I hate food now it hurts and makes me sick. If I never had to eat again it would be great is how I feel right now. I've got myself into deficiencies really quickly so had IV vitamin and iron infusion yesterday.
Wake up call??
If I could live on milk forever I would. I weigh myself once a week, but what the scales say is not indicative of my size, it how much my bones stick out is what I notice. However illogical side of me wants the scales to say a certain figure regardless of logical side just saying where the hell is it going to come from on me.
Just 5 more kilos

How awful to feel that way, I know you have had a lot of problems. But the way you write about food does set off alarm bells a bit. I have watched one of my sisters flip from overeating disorder to mild anorexia, and I have a cousin who has it so severe she had been under 5 stone for nearly 5 years, she is in a cycle of loosing conciousness, getting sectioned and being NG fed. It is the most devastating of illnesses.
I get the scales not quite tallying with size thing though, they just dont! I'm now a size 16, which is actually what I aimed for. But I am 3 1/2 stone heavier than I thought i would be when I reached this goal. Personally I still struggle with overeating, although my days of binge eating seem to be behind me.

I hope you can get the help and support you need. It would be such a shame to put yourself at risk from what should be a positive life change. Take care, and keep us updated - I'm worrying about you now xx
Interesting question.
I have my first appointment with a psychiatrist tomorrow. I have been seeing a psychologist through occupational health at work. She thinks that mentally I was not ready for weight loss surgery having binge eating disorder. I was sleeved in March 2012 and initially lost 5 stone but have now started bingeing again. Although I cant eat the amounts I could before I can still binge on crisps and sugary stuff. I have started putting on weight and hate food.
I get distressed when food shopping and often have to leave the shop and return another time. If I never had to eat again I would be happy but I still obsess about food and when I can eat next and what I can have. It is awful. I am hoping tomorrow will be the start to some proper therapy.
