Been Anorexia for 5 years, Currently trying my best to recover and starts eating again.
I have been struggling with Anorexia for 5 years, however, with help from my doctors and psychiatrist, I'm now on eating again recovering stage. But find it a big challenge as stomach feels so pain and bloated even with small amount of food. I also feel ugly and disgusted with my protruding stomach after each meal. Feeling very ugly and want to give up. Anyone has experience with ED, please share with me. Thank you.
@Ling80 I am currently recovering from my eating disorder also while I am not hospitalized because I don't need to. I feel your pain about feeling bloated after eating a meal. last week and the week after that I was barely eating and counting my calories. and now since I have been eating more I to feel fat when seeing my stomach bloat after eating a meal.
Hi, don't give up. I was experiencing bad bloating when I started to eat. Then my Dr gave me some gas med. It works well. Not completely makes the bloating goes away but helps. I just have to keep eating and not think about it, after 2 weeks of food(proper food but smaller portion) my stomach get used to it. Now not as bloated anymore. Also the stomach bulging out....it will go away, once the weight gains goes on, I notice my chest and legs and body starts growing and the stomach bulging gradually balance itself.
Keep going!! Don't give up!
I was anorexic last year. I went to mental ward. I recovered.
