Hungry or in pain??

[JoyandLight 42]

I am almost 5 weeks post op. This may sound ridiculous, but sometimes I don't know if I am hungry, or if it is just pain. It seems like a lump in my stomach, even if I haven't eaten recently.

Had anyone else had this, or am I losing my mind??

Me!! I can't tell if I'm hungry or feeling something diff. So I just eat something. Happens every few hours. Although I can also go hours without eating

Acid can mimic hunger "pains" and cause a gnawing empty sensation. Are you on an acid medication?

Yes, Pepcid in the am. I've heard Prilosec is better, will try when I run out.
