    About Me

    Hi! My name is Cynthia. I am a newly wed (3-29-08)and the mother of a wonderful 19 year old son. I have the life that most dream of...a loving husband that adores me, a responsable, caring, Christian son, no money worries and a very stress free life! I can work out, lay in the sun, have lunch with my friends or just lay around if I feel like it! That is why I cant figure out why I struggle so much with this eating disorder and it in turn causes me to get very depressed! I wish I just felt normal and I could live my perfect life without all of this struggle and pain! I am 5' 11" tall. A good weight for me is around 150 pounds, right now Im at 165 pounds and feeling miserable! I had a Roux En Y Gastric Bypass done in December of 1999. Starting weight was 300 pounds, lost 155 pounds and have managed to keep the weight off for the most part but it is a constant struggle for me! I have had numerous cosmetic surgeries to remove loose skin (Tummy tuck, breast aug., lipo, complete thigh lift) but need several more! I gain and lose, diet and binge constantly! Food is my drug, I feel like Im addicted to it! Ive just gotten into therapy and am hoping this will help with my disordered eating but would like to chat with others who suffer from this as well.

    Interests

    My son, my husband, being a good Christian, working out, interior decorating, entertaining friends and family. boating or anything near the water, biking.

    • Close Gastric Bypass Surgery

      Had a Roux En Y done in 99 and lost 150 pounds. Gain and lose the same 15 or so over and over. My binge eating is a constant struggle for me and would love to meet and talk to others with the same struggles.

    • Close Eating Disorders
      Type: Bulimia

      Ive just started therapy with an eating disorder specialist, im hoping this helps. i notice stress, denying myself food and most of all, eating a little bad starts a binge for the whole day, My husband just bought a book titled "binge no more", im hoping this helps too. i pray about it too! God is the only true healer, i am seeing some improvement.

      Treatments

      Meridia Working / Worked
      It does definately make you fill full faster but binge eating has nothing to do with being hungry or full so I think Im going to stop it and get on Zoloft to elevate my mood! Cant be on both due to drug interactions. I notice Meridia makes me pretty aggitated too!
      Paxil Working / Worked
      Just started again on 7-15-08 but already like better than Zoloft!
      Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
      just started!
      Topamax Working / Worked
      Started 7-10-08 and love it! Takes away the urge to binge and makes you want to stop eating when your full!
      Zoloft Not Working
      Hated it! Made me have Social Anxiety and didnt help much with depression!
    • Open Depression

      Just started Zoloft 3 days ago. Feeling really weird and depressed. I hope it starts to work soon!

      Treatments

      Zoloft Too Soon to Tell
      SparkPeople Considering
      Paxil Working / Worked
      I talked to my Dr. and this is the med. i was on in the past that i liked so much. Got off of Zoloft and back on Paxil 2 days ago and feel better already!
    • Open Plastic Surgery

      Ive had lots to try to remove loose skin after my Gastric Bypass.

      Treatments

      Liposuction Working / Worked
      Have had several treatments. Removed fat but loosened skin even more and have several areas that are lumpy. This will have to be touched up as well!
