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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
