Yeah -- go find a good therapist now, try to find an ANAD support group in your area, and see if you can get in to see a dietitian and a physical therapist.
The reason I'm jumping on this is that you are describing a great set up for a serious eating disorder. The restrictive eating leads to binging, which leads to more restrictive eating, and can easily lead to purging behaviors. If that happens, well -- life gets to be hellish pretty darned fast. The sooner you fix this, the better your entire life will be.
The physical therapist is probably the best thing you can do for yourself right now, though. Find out as well as you can how to avoid another injury. And see if you can at least talk to your doctor about what a reasonable eating pattern would be.
Also, there is an eating board here, which deals in eating disorders. Binge eating counts.
Oh! And welcome to Babble!
