Hi everyone. I'm 5 months post op and very happy with my sleeve. I have had bouts of acid reflux but noticed I have no signs of hunger...until the last few days.

I caught a tummy bug and was unable to eat for a few days without nausea and couldn't sleep.

Those last few nights I had the strangest empty/hollow sensation. I was convinced it was me feeling hungry as I used to get that same feeling pre-op if I went without food for hours. But when I ate I felt sick and it wouldn't go away. I got it only at night when I couldn't rest or sleep. It's that kind of feeling where you haven't eaten for ages that it makes you feel so sick- it's not just feeling sick...if that makes sense?!

I'm feeling better today but again I can't sleep and the gnawing feeling won't go. I had a rice cake as a small snack and I still have this hollow feeling. It really does feel like the times pre op when I had a insatiable hunger...

I get that feeling in the evening and sometimes in the middle of the night. I know it is the over-production of acid in my stomach. I take a PPI every night and Pepcid AC whenever I get "that feeling." That's what works for me! Hopefully the acid will reduce as I get further and further out from surgery.
