Sounds like a bit of brain-hunger....you need to get back to basics, sounds like, too, the body is trying to get you back to it's default weight it is used to perhaps. See a specialist psych or someone who can get your headspace right You have come too far, happens to everyone .though. unfortunately. What about more solid protein like fish so it stays in your tummy longer, though boiled egg should do it. and make sure you are not drinking too soon after your protein meal. You probably know all this.......YOU HAVE DONE SO WELL....DON'T LET IT BEAT YOU but don't beat yourself up...like to see you win this sucker!

You should continue to pursue. An ulcer repair isn't a second bariatric surgery. It's a medically necessary corrective surgery. I just had an ulcer surgically removed and feel a million time better. Approved quickly by my insurance company that doesn't approve even 1 surgery.
Dont live in pain! I did for years-not a fun time.
I recently had a fistula repair along with a marginal ulcer repair. The complication risk is higher but there was never a question in my surgeon's mind to fix it.

I had that, they had to go in and do a diagnostic laproscopy....tons of scar tissue and a lower bowel blockage....see my recent post on the main board about the two meals a day of meal replacement shakes.....lots of liquids......weight loss beyond what I bargained for. That kind of pain is unbelievable. I sure hope you are feeling better.

The University of Florida has a TON of research on this, I don't remember what, exactly, but we were looking for my friend a few years ago

My friend had an aortic valve replacement ten years after his open RNY....he did fine. He had his bypass surgeon write a letter indicating his nutritional needs to the hospital nutritionist prior to surgery on his heart, so that everyone was on the same page. He was able to tolerate blood thinners for a while, carefully supervised. He had gained weight prior to his heart surgery, and was discharged at close to goal cause he was in the hospital for a month or so doing rehab. That was a few years ago, in about 2012, so I am sure the surgeries have gotten even better. his main issue was coordinating care. Bringing appropriate vitamins and shakes to hospital as hospital did not stock what he took. He was up and around just fine after that....lifting restrictions, etc.....unfortunately he regained again, and later had a massive stroke (two years later). He never could put the food down. But he went through the heart surgery no sweat
I use Unjury brand. I am eating all the wrong things can't remember what I ate when I was losing. Even when I do hard boiled eggs I am hungry soon after. I feel like I am failing and very scared. I don't want to go back to over three hundred lbs again. I love 150's but not 168. I know it don't sound like much but it feels awful. I don't remember what to eat. I do take. My vitamins and exercise just eating wrong and all the time. Can't seem to tell myself no anymore.
You may look into what food do you eat. Dense proteins keep me full for hours. Carbs - even the so called good carbs - and i can eat and eat and eat...and still feel hungry. I have up starches. They make me hungry. And fruits.
Drinking protein shakes may not carb your appetite. And if the drinks have carbs. That may even make you more hungry.
Hala. RNY 5/14/2008; Happy At Goal =HAG

Not sure what is going on with me. I had RNY in 2008 so I am about 6 years out. I am really having a hard time with my weight. I am up about 15 -18 lbs and don't like the way it feels or looks. I use protien drinks 3 times a day so I am getting 60 grs of protien aday. I would think that would curb my hunger but it don't. I can eat and I never feel full thur the day. If I set down and eat a meal I do feel full but it don't last very long. I went back to my surgon he had me go see a nutionist but that has not been a lot of help. I am feeling like I use too just not knowing where to start or what to do. I am very active I get about 8,000 steps everyday but the weight is gathering around my middle. Please someone help me get back on track!!!!
Getting your brain and your stomach on the same page is really a long process! Take it from someone 7 years out. I think at about 6 years I finally figured it out. :-) Small pieces, chew thoroughly, pay attention to your pouch. Good job getting back on track.
Blessings, Jill
