    I... after you vomit, do you eat something else? Or do you feel sick and not up to eating until the next meal?

    Because I think if I lost my breakfast, I'd just leave it logged and not try to calculate how much of my stomach contents came back.

    Honestly, I agree with segacs that you need to talk to your doctor about this and find out if everything is OK. And I'm a *little* bit worried about your desire to un-log regurgitated food. That sounds like it's heading toward disordered eating territory.

    That's exactly what I was thinking. If I vomited the last thing I'd be worried about is how many calories I barfed up.

    Echoing. Please be mindful of how disfunctional that line of thinking is.

    Go see your doctor. I can't believe this is a thread.

    For the record, I have seen and continue to see my doctor. I was only looking for people who have also had lap band to see what their doctor told them. I wish I could delete this damn thread, because up until today, MFP has been nothing but helpful and supportive...maybe next time I will title my thread differently so all the nasties won't comment on something they don't understand.

    I understand you don't ask the internets for help with medical problems. I hope you now understand that as well.

    So bulimia harms the body... what did you think gastric bypass surgery would do to your body? It is a life threatening surgery, and many people who have had it have many ongoing health problems because of it. But I haven't had the surgery; just cured BED by changing the food I eat.

    I hope you can figure out how to eat that works for you. It's going to be hard to eat enough to be fully nourished. I hope that you are picking nutrient dense food and avoiding most processed stuff.
