Ok, so I know that's supposed to be the point of surgery, but what do you do if you're completely NOT hungry.  It started over a week ago, where I became really not hungry, and now it's getting to a point where I can barely get food down without feeling like I wanna throw up cuz' I already feel full without even eating.  I will be 8 weeks post-op tomorrow, so you would think I should start to be able to eat more vs. eating less.  I can barely get my vitamins down; they're making me full.  Drinking my water is making me full.  I'm not sure what to do anymore.  Should I just drink my food, like go back to soup for awhile?  I just feel sick to my stomach, I feel like I could go all day and not eat a single thing and it wouldn't bother me since I'm not hungry one single bit (I'm actually kind of full feeling).

Any ideas??

You might be developing a stricture - if you reach a point where you truly can NOT eat, you'll want to get that checked.

At darn close to 3 years out, I can honestly say I've only felt hunger ONCE.  I get weak and shaky if I don't eat for too long of a stretch, so I KNOW I NEED to eat, but as for the stomach telling me it needs food?  Nope.  Never happens.

Just pay attention, and don't be afraid to get checked.  If you are developing a stricture, I understand it's relatively simple to fix.

 Well, isn't that a #itch!?   I kind of miss being hungry or food tasting good.

Do get it checked to make sure that you are ok.  Let us know what they say.

 Hey!  Checkin in.  Did you ever start getting hungry again?  How are you feeling?
