Is my growling stomach mean I'm hungry



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on April 1st, 2015. I am doing well but I am anxious about food in general. I guess I'm fearful of gaining weight.

I eat small amounts, and have had a few episodes of eating too fast and feeling the pain. Haven't really thrown up, unless I provoke it, usually when the pain is unbearable. Now I feel my stomach growling in between meals....does this mean I am hungry or is it another reason? The growling after a mean I expected but not in between meals. HELP!

I don't feel as if I am loosing fast enough.

I am 1 year and 8 months out and my stomach growls occasionally. It also makes other weird random noises. It doesn't usually mean I'm hungry. I listen more to how I feel than what noises my stomach makes.

Hi congrats on the surgery and yur success thus far, keep up the good work. Just one question are you having a light snack in between meals,ie.. some Protein drink, a little Peanut Butter or almond butter, a yougurt, just naming a few?

Are you getting enough fluids in? I was told that if you're hungry between meals you're likely thirsty. Try drinking and see if that helps.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
