You might want to try the 5 day pouch test. It was developed by a wls patient to get your pouch working again as an effective tool for your weight loss. www.5daypouchtest.com Some post-ops use it once a month to stay on track. It takes you back to the basics, how you ate immediately post-op. Good luck.

I had RNY 2 1/2 years ago. I've lost 136 popunds. A friend of mine who had RNY 2 years before I did, warned me that self control was going to have to kick in eventually. Lately I've lost that "full" feeling I'd always had post surgery. That may be what is happening to you. That lack of feeling full all the time scares me too.

Hopefully by now you have your eating on a system so you know how much to eat during the day. You will have to eat with greater care as your body is not going to tell you when to stop. Set up your servings for the day and keep to what you set out. Look at what you have been eating to plan a weeks schedule of what to eat. Remember protien first and try not to panic.

It is normal after the 18 months for your stomach to settle at what it is going to be in size depending on your eating habits. I personally have had 2 pregnancy's since RNY and after each about a year after I had Sclerotherapy which worked well to shrink the stoma that stretched with normal pregnancy. Then I felt fuller. It could be the size of the stoma or your pouch size itself. Endoscopy is the only way to measure it other than the pouch test.
