I sure don't know. I know criminal law, not medicine...but I swear my body did this. >> Flo I enjoyed your post! I too explored an eating Disorder program here in Cincinnati. " It's not what you eat,but why you eat " Ellen Shuman has even been on the Oprah show with her story(although Oprah can't seem to put an MGBer on?) I tried the program,got labeled upon signing and paying with " Binge eating Disorder " (everyone gets that label so insurance will pay). I journaled every bite that went in my mouth and the feelings around it. To my dismay I found I was a happy person who overate-no childhood trauma,no " big " issues, they couldn't even muster up a slight depression for me just so I feel like my $$ was well spent!LOL! The title B.E.D. didn't fit my personality at all,and it was overall a very frustrating problem. It did show me I needed more time for myself, and for that I am grateful! I remember saying to the therapist(confessing) I felt like I was trying to think up problems so she felt she was doing a good job,she laughed and said " Maybe we're finished then? " I never went back. The way you described the " switch " being turned off post-op was right on the $$ for me. I went to a local bakery to pick up a b-day cake for my sister-in-law last week for my brother(he was running late) and I started to wite a check. Here they stopped taking checks in April. She said " You have not been here have you? " It was then that I realized I hadn't been in a bakery since early Feb.! I went there a few times a week pre-op! It's just another MGB miracle for me! I also went from a 26 pants to a new 20! My weights down 66 lbs in 5 months and I feel great! I've recomitted to the supplements(found myself slipping and having some muscle injuries w/ Jazzercise). I feel much better back on track! Good luck to those researching. I hope it's right for you! I'm very happy w/ my decision! I feel 25 again! And boy are the men looking! I enjoy when a guy slows thew car down a little-let's me know I'm alive(and hubby couldn't be happier!) Just an uplift! Flo,realy enjoyed your post-brought back some nice memories!
