Yes..always due to all health issues.

Many of the health issues cause memory problems so they also mask and mimic one another so for one day to the next it's hard to tell which one is causing what symptom.

I desperately need a starting point to get this wait moving again.

Something I didn't share or I don't remember sharing is the fact that the doctors didn't think I would ever lose weight even from the surgery but that it would stabilize my vitals and save my life. And it did exactly that and icing on the cake was I did lose weight but never reached goal weight even following the rules to a T.

Well, the first place to start is measuring and tracking everything you eat.

Ah. You should start weighing/measuring what you eat and logging it with something like MyFitnessPal so you can know the calorie and macronutrient breakdown and make adjustments.

Is there any possibility that you have GERD (your "stomach eating your back out")? You may want to ask your doctor about that. Otherwise, Gwen has provided excellent advice.

Good catch, Liz.

It would also be worthwhile for the OP to track what they're eating and when they feel the hunger vs. when they don't.

No matter what I eat or drink and water is my go-to drink and then herbal teas. But no matter what I eat or drink I have indigestion and heartburn so gerd is a huge possibility

I was diagnosed with silent GERD which I didn't even know was a thing. Now I just have GERD. My symptoms can be non traditional... nausea, feeling like I can't swallow.
