So I had an impacted lower right wisdom taken out yesterday. I'm excited because now I literally cannot binge. I'm 5'2, got down to 91 lbs about a week ago, and Thanksgiving ruined everything. I was trying so hard not to binge and the days after I just binged on everything. Weighed myself this morning and am 95lbs. I feel huge. I only was able to eat like 300 calories after the surgery yesterday. So far today I've only eaten a low fat greek yogurt so I could take my medication. My head is pounding and I'm incredibly nauseous. Hopefully by next week I'll be below 90...

Oh, wow. I'm sorry its caused you to associate food with pain. I'm very nauseous still and I think it's from the antibiotic I was put on. I've taken prescription strength motrin but my head is still pounding and I dont know if I'll be able to eat anything else today.

Your bmi is 17.4 (you are well underweight), please do not worry about weight loss. It is not healthy for you.
Edit: This is an ED form apprently, so I suppose this may fall on death ears. But my message still stands, do not allow others to coerce you into unfair weight loss. I really do hope things go better for you soon OP.

Thank you for your concern. Yes, I am struggling with an ED. However, I do my best to stay as safe as I can and I know my limits. I understand I am considered to be underweight, however, I struggle with severe body dysmorphia and do not see myself the way others most likely do. Once again, I do appreciate your concern.

I hope you can get past this op.
I will admit I do not really have much experience with eating disorders myself, but If I can do anything to help as just some random person on the internet I will try.

Thank you for your reply and thank you to everyone else for being so caring. I've been struggling still with my ED. I know it is not healthy but I am being as safe as I possibly can. I am not yet ready to seek help.

There have been 3 different times in my life where I dropped below 60kg after surgery or an illness rendered food completely unpalatable to me for weeks. It always happened because eating while sick caused me to vomit violently from nausea and then I associated food with pain and couldn't bring myself to eat. Always took a long time to start eating right again and get back to my usual weight.
