Help! I think I'm in big trouble!

I'm almost 11 years out. I had my first gain 2 yrs ago, 30lbs due to thyroid. Today I sit here and thank God I gained that weight.

Im very sick. I have a rare headache disorder that is out of control and for the past 5 years I've been bedridden. I haven't had eating issues prior to this but last year these 3 sick in the head men set off a ptsd trigger that started stomach issues... vomiting, stomach pains, nausea and not eating much (although I eat a lot less now). So that went away in sept/oct. But eating issues never came back. I don't get hungry and even when I'm not nauseous I still can't eat much. I can get some in maybe 4-5 ounces but not enough to sustain life when you are only eating like that a couple times a day.

My doc had me back on protein shakes which helped with strength. My finances changed and I can't afford them now. I've lost 35lbs since April laying in bed. I'm scared! I can barely get 1000 calories a day in me. I do have medical marijuana for my pain. I found one that works for pain and appetite but I'm broke and can only get a little. Anything else that can make you eat? I wanted to know if I can starve to death? I have RNY. Sorry so long. Any advice or ideas would be great. Thanks

I replied on your other post.

1000 calories is not a lot, but it is not very little. Some people post op RNY in maintenance eat that many. But the critical part is to make sure you get enough proteins.

50-80 gr of proteins every day plus good fat and take vitamins and minerals. The last 2 are critical.

Do you have medicaid or other medical insurance? Some insurances will cover your protein shakes for nutrition if prescribed for you by a doctor for medical necessity. You need to go to your doctor and talk to them, maybe see a gastroenterologist about your stomach issues. If they find you are losing weight due to a medical issue, then you may be able to get your shakes prescribed.
