you love bananas, try a PB and banana sandwhich! oh so good! I used to eat them all the time before I had to worry about the fat in PB! And on a warm tosted bagel or bread, the PB melts and the warm banana is sooo good! I wish I could go bananas. I think they cause gas and C, but I'm not sure of any specific triggers yet! UGH, why can't I figur out my triggers! It would make life easier if I could pinpoint specific no no's, but there is no ryhme nor reason to my pain and symptoms. After weeks and weeks on no bananas, I tried a 1/4 if a one in my quiona breakfast cereal. It was cocoa flavored and had dried bananas in it already. Just added water and microwaved it until hot, like oatmeal. Hey, another new food I tried! As opposed to just plain regular oatmeal. Actually, it wasn't very good, but I still get credit for trying it! I thought bananas bothered your tummy. How often do you eat them? If I remember correctly from the vegas boards, sometimes you ate a couple a day, and you were okay with the tummy? I know some people have cramps and gas from them and can't do them. Lucky you if you can. I know Rachel misses them!
It was kind of hard to not have my family acknowledge my ED. Okay, more confessing. I plummeted to 69 pound (at 5'5") and was hospitalized in the ED ward about 3 times.  I was hospitalized but it never worked because I wasn't ready to give it up. Too afriad and I still needed it as my coping mechanism. It was a serious thing. So, kind of hard to hide. Hey, if others on the board want to judge me for that then that's a chance I am taking now I guess. As long as people I care about are still accepting of me, that is what I must care about.
When I started gaining weight, even when people said, "oh, your face is rounding out" or "You are really putting on some weight, pretty soon you'll have to join Weight watchers" ha, ha! I know they were really not thinking I was fat, but that's surely was my inital thought! I don't know how I would react if someone actually used the FAT word to me!
You say your alone and that's why you are eating the same foods. Where is Adam now? Is he out of town? And I don't think there is anything wrong with eating the same foods everyday, it's easier and less hassle than cooking sometimes, and it's a no brainer! And the foods you are eating are healthy, so why not if it's what you need to do! Actually, it was making me feel better that I wasn't the only one that sometimes is too lazy to make fancy dishes and just does the basic boiled potatoe, cooked frozen veggie and baked protein(chicken, fish). It's healthy, fast, and stressless. And with the FT job, stressless, and less time consuming is important to me. The more things in my life I can simplify, the better for my IBS!
