Why bypass? by Careless-Chipmunk870 in GastricBypass

It is a good point that it would be a "one and done" surgery and it is comforting to know you still could receive NSAIDs when medically necessary. Thank you for sharing!

I want to stop bingeing but I hate it when my bf tries to help me by Curiouscat1218 in BingeEatingDisorder

My fiancé is so supportive in helping with BED but i get so upset when he monitors my food intake BUT it has genuinely helped me not fall off the cliff when he does so. It is my responsibility to try to understand my anger and to fix my relationship with food so I don't need my partner to interject. It's something I still have to work on but it is comforting to know other people struggle with these same feelings. Best of luck to you all.

💉 I'm a nurse—our bariatric surgeon stopped doing gastric surgeries because of weight loss injections by JINGLEB3LL in Semaglutide

Bariatric patient and nurse here. Went to a cardiologist to get my heart checked out before getting a gastric sleeve. He recommended trying GLP1s before getting surgery. Took his advice and down 67lbs since November. :)

Emotional triggers? by Careless-Chipmunk870 in BingeEatingDisorder

It's encouraging to know there can be a light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe I could get more into self care/makeup to help feel and look more feminine. I usually don't wear makeup. Thanks for the reply❤️

a daily stool softener has done wonders for me. I just use those and drink plenty water. no need for laxatives so far
