I had the gastric sleeve on Monday June 30th. I am 6 days post op and started protein shakes on Friday. Why am I so hungry? The popsicles and jello aren't keeping me full. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your response. I am also getting the gurgley and gassy rumblings. They are similar and it is probably more in my head, though I feel better after having a shake. I will start stage 2 on Tuesday which will be purée and soft foods so that should help. I am also taking a 6 week "hungry head" class/ support group starting Thursday to help me deal with the cravings and perceived hunger, I'm just surprised it kicked in so quickly!!!

Had the gastric sleeve surgery on Monday June 30th, 2014. I came home from the hospital yesterday. I have been experiencing really painful gas pains, painful explosive diarrhea and sharp pains in my belly when I walk. Does this seem normal? I called my Dr.'s office today and the nurse said it is to be expected. However, I have friend who had the same surgery on the same day and her pain has gotten much better. Am I just being a worry wart?
