I had my sleeve on May 7th. I am so confused as to if I am having hungry pains or stomach pains?????????? Not sure if I need a Protein Shake or if I am full already or if my stomach is just cramping. I am sooooo confused. Good Lawd this weird!!!!!!!

I'd suggest going strictly by the numbers until you are healed enough to be able to clearly feel the difference. My doc gave me a schedule of how much Protein Shake to eat and how often, and how much water/fluids to have a day. That's what I stayed with for the first two weeks, and now I can tell pretty clearly the difference between head hunger and real hunger - but I sure couldn't until the last few days! Also try warm fluids if your stomach feel like it's cramping. Cold was hard for me. Tummy mint or Sleepytime tea were great for that! Hang in there girl, it'll get easier!

Thanks! I started adding Soups today with my Dr. permission and I think it threw me a little with the excitement to my taste buds

I'm right there with you! Am I hungry or is my stomach just being a bitch?

I had the same thing!! The Dr told me it was gas and told me to take gasx. I did and it worked. Just know my stomach hunger or whatever pains are subsiding. I had my surgery on April 14.
