Am I Hungry or Is This Just Gas?

I was sleeved 2/25/13 and i am currently in the pureed foods phase of my post op diet. More often than not i get the very familiar feeling of hunger/emptiness in my tummy. Am I hungry or is this just gas playing tricks on me? It really feels like hunger though! Help! Anyone feeling this as well?

I was sleeved on 2/22/13 and I feel hungry all the time. I feel my old hunger coming back stronger everyday. Im trying to decipher my full feeling. Im still on broth Jello ice pops and Protein shakes. 1 hour after my meal, I get hungry.

Are you taking a PPI? Many people confuse acid with hunger. Just a thought

What is that? Is that tums or something else?

PPI is like Prilose, Zantac,... one/two a day pill.

I have to take a PPI every day if not I tend to eat all day to keep acid at bay.

This video really helped me understand why I get hunger sensations from time to time.

no i'm not taking anything. i got a prescription for a few things that i havent filled and i think an antacid was one of them. that's a weird way for acid to manifest.

My Dr gave me Protonix since its a tablet and not a capsule but each doc is different. I think most of us are on some kind of PPI for at least 3-6 months.

Thanks for this posting. My doc prescribe something that I take twice a day called carafate. I have to check and see if this is for antacid. They told me its for coating sleeve for anti ulcers.
