Amount of food 2 years out
I'm wondering if anybody feels like I do. I can eat quite a bit in one sitting. Probably what would have been a normal amount before surgery. I really have to make sure to have lots of dense protein to feel full for a significant amount of time. All carbs and starch are slider foods to me. I can eat large amounts of salad…

Really struggling
The past few days have been brutal. Finally got it together yesterday after two days of binging. I don't even dare weigh myself. My stomach still hurts. And it's so dumb cause the food didn't even taste good. I don't think I tasted it at all. My psychiatrist wants me to go to an eating disorder specialist. She does a group…

Lightly active/eat exercise cals?
I walk 7 miles five or six days a week. Not casual walking but fast so it's a workout. I've put my setting on lightly active. Are exercise cals included in the calorie goal or do I eat some of my workout cals back? Thank you

Maintenance help for gastric bypass
I was wondering if anybody was to maintenance yet. This is hard for me because I only know how to gain and lose. I read that gastric bypass patients have to eat less than 1000 calories to maintain. Has anybody found that to be true? I've been on maintenance for about a week and my weight fluctuates up and down a couple…

I've had an ED since I was a kid
I'm not sure why. Part of it stems from abuse. Part of it from getting bullied. A big part of it fueled by the need to be perfect. The perfect daughter, student, friend, wife, and mother. And I am so not perfect. So far from it. I have all spectrums of eating disorders, but I think restrictive eating with bulimia is…

Gonna get my bleep together
I have had a horrible four weeks. My little brother passed away on October 19th and I came home to Utah from Texas the next day. So yeah my diet has not been normal.

I wonder if there's anyone like me!
I have a wonderful group of friends on here who are very supportive. I love them very much. The problem I have is that I don't exercise. I've lost 39 pounds and now weigh 309. I have bursitis in my hips which makes it very difficult to walk. I actually got bursitis from exercising too hard on my poor fat body. At the time…

Shredded salsa chicken?
Today I cooked chicken thighs and salsa in my crockpot and shredded the meat to have on soft tacos. The meat tastes really good but we just didn't like it for tacos. I have a lot left over. If anybody has any ideas how to use the leftover chicken I would really appreciate it. Thanks everybody.

I got bored so I replaced four hours of the water aerobics with walking on the treadmill and doing the weight machines. Will this make my weight plateau. I didn't lose any this week which is unusual for me. In…
