Is this normal?

[kerpel 3]

I am six weeks out with my new sleeve, although the weight is coming off a lot slower then expected. I lost a total of 23#.. Although I lost the majority if it with pre and post op liquid diet.. About 20.. once i Started full solids I only lost 3#.. On top of it.. Once I eat about an hour later I am starving .. I am eating majority of diet full of protein...do u think I an hungry or indigestion???

Are you taking a ppi? I know once I started with a good ppi the hunger went away. It is normal to stop losing around the three week mark and to not lose for a few weeks while your body adjusts. I didn't lose any weight my second month out at all. Then I lost 9 pounds my third...and pretty much lost between 8-10 pounds a month for the next 6 months. I know it seems like forever when you are in the middle of it, but once you get to the end you can't believe you are there already! just stay positive! Good luck!

Yeah, what IS a ppi?

[unbesleevable1 420]

Proton pump inhibitor. like omeprazole/ prilosec, etc.

[Sassygirl06 962]

Yes, proton pump inhibitor....basically a med that shuts off your acid pumps. The acid in your sleeve can cause you to feel hungry. When they are shut off your stomach calms down and you lose some of that hunger.

I took OTC Prevacid AC

I took OTC Prevacid AC

Does the Prevacid help with heartburn/acid reflux? I tried Pepcid AC but haven't gotten any relief. I have also tried Tums but nothing seems to help.

I stalled from week 3 to week 7, then dropped 6lbs in 2 days, and I've been losing consistently since. I'm 11.5 weeks out
