Hunger pains

[Hlatta 13]

I had a successful sleeve surgery 4 days ago on 1-18-17 but have been having hunger pains. It's very discouraging as this was one of the reasons I had the surgery. Is this common, has anyone else experienced this?

Hi -

I also thought I was having hunger pangs but it turns out that acid reflux or indigestion or the like often feels like a growling stomach to me (and others, as my dr. told me.) I was given a prescription for pepcid and it worked to eliminate those hunger like feelings.

Thank you jellybean12. I think I'm going to try Gaviscon to see if that will help.

I was hungry the day after surgery and it has stuck. I was nervous and discouraged too. I couldn't really get full either. I didn't over eat ever, but I felt like I was eating too much. However, I went to my 3 week follow up and I was 25 pounds down! The doctor said he would have been happy with 15 pounds. Just work through it and get your Water in. You got this!

I had my sleeve done on 1/19/2017. I am on Pepcid and it sounds like my stomach is eating itself. The noise it makes! I'm back on the shakes starting today, hoping that helps!
