What Causes The Lack Of Fullness In Abdomen Inspite Of Taking High Calorie Food?

Hi there! Thank you for taking time in answering my question. I had a gastric bypass 5 years ago which had to be reversed as I had extreme deficiencies resulting in night blindness, etc. Last year July I had my operation reversed but still my stomach was made smaller only the intestine was lengthened. Since then I ve gained 10kg. I now weigh 68kg, my length is 1.68m. My problem is that I m extremely hungry all the time. I try to stick to a 6000 kilojoule diet and work out in the gym burning about 2000 kilojoules (according to my heart monitor) but I m really getting worried about the fact that right after eating I m still hungry. This happens for instance after having a piece of low gi toast with a poached egg. I ve tried drinking water as I thought it might be thirst but it just doesn t go away. As I m typing this my stomach is growling again! I m so scared that I ll end up weighing 100kg again, that I m barely sleeping at night. Is this all in the mind? I ve tried taking Duromine 30mg but still I m hungry and the side effects were so bad I only took the capsules for 2 days. Any ideas?

Hello,

* As per my case evaluation, feeling of hunger after adequate food is because of small stomach size not consistent with signals sent from satiety centre about the satiety. Do continue to use our medical services.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
