A new year, a new me

I am doing very well, still adjusting to this band. I had my first fill (tightening) on Thursday. Since then I've only been able to eat a small amount of food slowly. It's truly a different world for me, where throwing up will not be a part.

This blog needs to morph alongside me as I live a new life with my gastric band. I think I will expand the blog outward to a different kind of site that offers help and support for people with bulimia. What do you think?

I would love to hear some suggestions on creating a site that can help struggling bulimics. A place for news on bulimia and treatment. I know there are many bulimia blogs, and listing every blog would be a service. Maybe a message board too.

What do you think?

I think it would be a wonderful idea... I have struggled with bulimia for two years now and it's hell... I believe in whatever works for the person and I don't think every shoe fits every foot, so I think it's awesome that you've tried the surgery and guess what?!! It's working for you! I agree that you must work on your inside so you don't slowly revert back to old habits and I love the idea of a new blogspot for bulimics!

Hi Mandy,

I work for an exciting health focused website company. I believe that your site would make an excellent link partner with our eating disorders site: EatingDisordersOnline.com.

Please put the following up on your site:

link title: Bulimia Effects

Please let me know so I can put you up on our site as well.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I am at the point where I know I need help. This is the first step. I can't stand this self loathing and self destructive behavior. I have been a binge eater all my life and the bulimia started at 15. I am now 46 and I am worried about my long term health. I am so out of control and I need to seek help.This bulimia thing has escalated and it scares me. I feel tingling in my body when I purge and I am afraid I am going to have a heart attack. I just recently put on 3 pounds after going on a 7 day cruise where I ate 3 huge meals a day and I couldn't purge as I would have at home. My boyfriend doesn't know. I'm afraid to tell him my dirty secret.I have been on every diet pill out and have done everything from Nutri system ,Jenny Craig and so on. I have probably lost and gained thousands of pounds in my life time. I pray God that this insanity will stop ! I want to be healthy. I need help!

I am truly amazed by you... my case isn't nearly as bad, i've only been bulimic for almost 8 months and now i have depression... this is truly awful but i can never see myself stopping, or if i did i would definately relapse... you're just so amazing and strong, i wish i had your willpower :)
