Hi. Was sleeved 6/2 and am tolerating soft foods well but my stomach is growling constantly. I read that it could be fro excess stomach acid or the healing process. It's driving me crazy. My stomach starts to growl within a half an hour of eating. Has anyone experienced this? I meet my water and protein goals and vitamins. I heard Gaviscon can help. I have a message in to my doctor but it's becoming more intolerable. Ugh.

Walking was the only thing that seemed to help. Half of the people on my hospital floor were sleeve surgery patients so their motivation was my motivation. I hope you feel better soon!

Sleeved June2nd. Pain is constant today but a friend recommended getting a belly band. It seems the jiggling is what causes the pain. I feel blessed not to have nausea and managed to get down 35 ounces of water and 11 ounces of protein shake. I was feeling sorry for myself this morning but put on my big girl panties and took a walk. The fresh air did wonders. I love to hear I'm not the only one struggling. I had prepared myself but I feel like I have something to prove to the naysayers. My husband is very supportive but other family members think I took to drastic of a step and I feel like I need to hide my struggles because they feel better that I am struggling. Well screw them. I got this. They can keep their negativity and suck on it. Sorry. Felt a little powerful there for a moment. I got this. I just need to answer to myself.

I'm also scheduled for June2nd. Started by 1 week preop liquid diet today.
