Anyone else have postpartum bulimia/eating disorders?

Question

I struggled with bulimia for years prior to getting pregnant, had it totally under control for s few years and all through my pregnancy. Now since giving birth I’ve been staring to struggle again with it. Anyone else? 😩

Answer

I have to admit that ever since i had my baby and gained 44lbs I struggled with some sort of eating disorder. I lost over 55lbs in 4 months. And im happy with my weight but I struggle to eat and when i do i feel so bad and horrible that i either puke or just not eat for the next two days. I cant eat anything without feeling crappy. It sucks but im trying to work on it. Goodluck and thanks for sharing

Answer

I also used to struggle with an eating disorder... anorexia and I’ve been in great recovery for years and through both pregnancies but I had them back to back and after this one I am struggling again with it so I feel your pain. I’m trying to not give into it but it’s hard and it’s been a struggle. My ob already put me on Zoloft so maybe it will help once it kicks in. Maybe you should talk to your ob about getting on something to help

Answer

I would try to get ahead of it before you slide back into it full blown. Maybe contact your doctor and see if it might be related to some underlying ppd
