i had my RNY in october 2008 so about 9 months ago...and ive lost 130pounds since surgery ive worked very hard to get to this point but i probally never really ate enough so U see, some of US dont know how it feeels to be FULL, because im content with a bite or two ....and if i really like what im eatng maybe a little more but never my whole meal....even if its a yogurt i leave about a spoon or two left in the container i never fini**** enough is enough i feel i fear stretching my pouch....and now that im at my goal wt i just really want to maintain it and not lose any more but i cant bring myself to eat more than i have been.....because it was never really ever a whole portion of a full cup or so .....is this natural can you be overweight and obese and then become basically afraid of food.....or "ANOREXIC" So ive been labeled by a few.....who dont know me well enough this whole concept is difficutl to swallow, BUT i have caught myself eating less than my toddlers....started on prozac recently for anxiety but......has anyone else had this extreme scale of madness in there life.....?if so hit me up cause im either gonna see a shrink or keep shrinking.....

I completely understand!   I had my RNY 12/2/08 and hit my goal weight today - I have lost 140 pounds.  It seems like I can eat less today than I could three months out.  I try to eat, but solid protein does not sit well with me and always comes up.  I can eat yougurt, protein shakes, sometimes cheese and  a few fruits and vegetables.  I live on milk!  I am started to get concerned about how to stablize when I can not eat much at all.  If you get any advice I would love to hear about it!  Good luck!

Lucia, I completely understand what you're going thru. I had my bypass on Halloween in 2006, I ended up having a revision due to an ulcer in Dec 2007. Ever since my first bypass I have not known what it feels like to be hungry. I know I dont eat nearly enuff food and my doc has labeled me in my med records as "Anorexic" but I cant help it. I just dont eat!!! I dont know why I dont feel hungry, I just dont. My hubby is constantly on my case because of this. My lack of hunger is what brought me to this site. I thought maybe someone could help me. My doc doesnt seem to know what to do. Hang in there. He told me as long as I consume at least 600 cal/day, I should be ok but make sure its mostly protein. HTH
