My stomach sends me signals ALL day long. I don't know how to interpret them. I don't know if my stomach is empty and I should eat because I'm told I'll no longer receive hunger signals...so what am I feeling? After I eat a little, I still feel my stomach. I don't overeat. I don't know how to explain it. It's sending me signals and wants attention, but I don't know how to make it stop. Before the surgery, I only heard my stomach when I was hungry, and when I fed it I didn't feel it anymore. Now I feel it all the time. It's not in my head; it's physical. It's like a crying baby...I've fed it, burped it, changed it, rocked it, and it's still crying. I don't know what to do. I don't feel sick necessarily...just...off. I just want to feel normal.
I'm only three weeks out from my surgery. Did anyone else experience this? Does it go away or get better? I just want to NOT feel my stomach ALL the time.
Also, I burp A LOT. After every sip of water, after everything I eat. Does this help shed light on my issues?
I'm feeling very lonely...like I'll never feel like a normal person again. Any thoughts on what I'm experiencing would be most appreciated. Thanks.
