So I have kind of a silly question. I was sleeved on 12/28 and have been feeling pretty good. I went home the day after surgery. The only complication was an undiagnosed hiatal hernia that was repaired during my sleeve operation. I have been on clears since the day after with the exception of an Isopure zero carb shake once a day. I am getting between 48 -64 oz. per day.

So beginning yesterday I noticed an increased in noises and aches in the upper abdomen. Not pain that I would take pain med for just uncomfortable, kinda a like I am hungry.

I am so frustrated right now and trying to convince myself that it is just part of the process and it won't be like I was pre-sleeve hungry all the time.

If anyone else has experienced this or can speak to whether this is a transition thing please do. I am at a loss tonight.

Gas X and Prilosec/Zegerid will do wonders. Post-surgery I discovered that gas, acid,and spasms all feel a LOT like extreme hunger >.<

Thank you both for your replies. I will try some gas x strips. I have been taking Prilosec since surgery. Knowing that this has happened to someone else in comforting.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
