Can't eat anything at all post surgery by 12 years or so

I am at the end of my rope. I used to be able to eat a few things, now the best I can do is a small container of instant mashed potatoes. Anything else comes back up. Doesn't matter how much I chew it or not. I feel weak and exhausted all the time. Take supplements or would probably die. Does this happen to anyone else? I had my surgery in Duluth MN. I now live in Ohio. If I could get it reversed I would. I had the extensive one where stomach us mostly removed. Is there anything I can take to help break up food when I can eat. Or should I seek out a surgeon here?

Given what you're describing you should definitely reach out to a medical professional. If you can contact your original surgeon, maybe they can recommend some one in Ohio? Or your insurance company may have a list of providers.

When did it get better for you? I honestly have such a weird relationship with my appetite these days--it seems to change on a whim and keeps me guessing. This week alone, I've called jack in the box customer support twice because I've been craving junk food like crazy, almost like my body is just begging for it nonstop. It's funny how sometimes your cravings can take over, right? I'm hoping it settles down soon because while junk food is a guilty pleasure, too much isn't great for me. Have you found anything that helps balance those cravings or get your appetite back on track?
