Strange feeling in stomach



Recommended Posts

I sometimes feels this strange feeling in my stomach- its hard to explain. Kind of like a hole in your stomach. Followed by feeling naseous. Has anyone felt this way and if so what is it? What do you think it means?

I'm sorry you are not feeling well. I had my surgery on 8/6/13 and I have the feeling of bubbles, however, no nausea.

When did you have your surgery? If you are feeling concerned I would talk to your doctor. He/She is the only one who should be giving you medical advise.

Good luck.

When you say hole do you mean it feels like things are leaving your stomach quickly? Is it liquids? Protein Shakes? Puréed? Full foods? Have you tried taking smaller quantities? So if you can take 4oz have you tried cutting off at 2oz? Or slowed down if its fluids?

Hmm, sometimes after a eat I can "feel" my stomach working. Sounds weird I know, no pain or nausea for me tho. It almost sounds the way it use to when I was hungry... Pre op ..

Is this when your stomach is empty? Sometimes if I haven't eaten when I should have my stomach honestly feels like it's for a lack of a better description.....hollow.

Don't laugh because I know when it is empty it is hollow but it feels that way. LOLThen I know I really need to eat because I start to not feel well.

Me too. It goes away if I eat. Doesn't feel like hunger, but it is rather unpleasant. I find myself eating too fast when i'm like this, too, so I have to pay attention and slow down or I make myself sick.

This is me exactly. I don't feel hungry just empty and then I start feeling sick and weak. Then because I waited too long to eat its so hard to eat slow enough so sometimes I eat too much too fast and then feel like crap or have to spit some up.

I tried making a food schedule so I wouldn't go too long between meals but I only followed it for a week. Now I just try like heck to always eat super slow.

Oh YES! I had surgery 3 weeks ago on 8/28. I usually feel it when I've eaten something that my stomach just doesn't like. It only takes one bite. I think I keep it filled with Water most of the time so I have yet to really the experience of empty.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
