Scared to DEATH......NEVER hungry
I had my RNY 6 years ago. All of a sudden, I am NEVER hungry. My husband has to remind me to eat, I constantly feel full, as if I've just eaten a 10 course meal. I'm barely making my 80 grams of protein a day and can barely eat over 800 calories a day. I'm seeing my surgeon at the end of this month. I force feed all day. I feel like I'm standing over a trough being held down. Every time I DO eat, It gives me gas and stomach aches and sometimes it just goes right through me. I'm flying through my anxiety meds, I'm so scared. Has this happened to anyone else?

Have you spoken to your surgeon about this? I do have periods where I have to make myself eat, but I am never in pain.

I am hoping that by now you have seen a doctor. Not being hungry and constantly feeling full are 2 different things. My hunger never returned, but eating by the clock is not difficult or painful for me. Let me know what happens.

I am not sure why this is happening and you should always see your doctor for things like this. But to me it sounds like it could be diverticulitis. It is very treatable, I have it and my grandmother has it. They usually have to do a colonoscopy and then they put you on antibiotics. My grandmother can't eat when it flares up. So just to ease your mind, don't worry too much.
