I think more information is probably needed - what are you eating? When are you drinking?

Are you taking an acid reducer?

I was wondering the same things...how much are you eating at one time...when does the pain come? Are you asking if the pain is hunger or do you feel hunger and pain?

I tend to get a stomach pain when I eat sugary stuff? I'm in agreement with everyone on what your eating, amounts your eating, etc. ;)

I know if I eat too fast, or don't chew my food well enough I have issues. I make sure after I eat I wait the full 30 minutes to eat as well as 30 minutes prior. As long as I follow these I am good. Oh and I can't eat spicey yet, but it's only been 5 months. Nothing sweet either, things taste way too sweet to me now.

Based on the fact you mention you get hungry AFTER eating, I'm willing to go out there and say it's acid. Our sleeves will still create (or try to) as much acid as it did pre surgery, so we get a big over abundance of it. It may feel like hunger to some people.

Are you on any kind of acid blockers or PPI's? I'm on Zegerid and it seems to help a great deal. I know many others take either prescription or Prevacid, or Nexium.

Maybe you should ask your Dr. about it, or try some OTC medications to help you. Good luck!

o thank you guys i am not on any acid tablets and i have had a weatabix for breakfast a small slim fast cottage pie for dinner and jacket potatoe wid a small fish cake for tea, i usual have a packet of snack a jacks as my snack today

Hi Sheila :)

Aside from the Acid issue, I'm also thinking that you're probably feeling hunger as well due to the amount of carbohydrates you're eating. Normally when I'm eating all carbs, I will get really hungry and really fast too. My body just burns right through it. Perhaps when eating your carbs, couple it with some dense Protein as well. Eat the Protein first, then the carbs next. Also you might fare well with eating more vegetables.

Good luck to you! This isn't easy to figure out what works and what doesn't. Hang in there and keep on pushing.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
