Tomorrow is full liquids so excited to start that.

Are you on a PPI/acid reducer? Sometimes the swelling in the new sleeve has excessive build up of acid and it can mimic hunger. Congrats on being sleeved and glad you are home.

They gave me something in hospital through iv to control acid. I go on prilocet tomorrow

My stomach has felt raw and upset since surgery. Have had bouts of loss stool wince last night. They told me at hospital it's from the meds they gave me for up GI. My stomach has been growling.

Prilosec should help with the growling acid stuff, they sent me home with this. I don't know what your dosage will be, but sometimes in the beginning we have to take a good bit to combat this. It should help you when you get on it.

Thanks Kelly, my stomach is so upset. Contantly growling and yelling at me lol. I feel like q bus hit me today now that I am off iv meds.

Oh my, hang in there. Did they take you off your pain meds already? Seems kind of soon. But the pain meds can also cause upset stomach too, so maybe that's why? I hope you feel better very soon!!

This afternoon was better, had cup of Soup cream chicken a little bit, had Greek yogurt with 1/2 scoop whey Protein. Breakfast was milk with whey protein. I keep everything down ate very small amounts and very slow. Don't feel hungry at all. Stomach seems settled down after prilocec.
