So I have kind of a silly question. I was sleeved on 12/28 and have been feeling pretty good. I went home the day after surgery. The only complication was an undiagnosed hiatal hernia that was repaired during my sleeve operation. I have been on clears since the day after with the exception of an Isopure zero carb shake once a day. I am getting between 48 -64 oz. per day.

So beginning yesterday I noticed an increased in noises and aches in the upper abdomen. Not pain that I would take pain med for just uncomfortable, kinda a like I am hungry.

I am so frustrated right now and trying to convince myself that it is just part of the process and it won't be like I was pre-sleeve hungry all the time.

If anyone else has experienced this or can speak to whether this is a transition thing please do. I am at a loss tonight.

what u are goin thru sounds like i went thru as well!!!!my surgery date was dec 8 and i remember for over a week of my tummy makin some noises. i have heard that is normal and air just passing thru .also , about that time i had sever e shoulder pain n tummy discomfort ...which i heard was gas .

And i can say i am painfree !!!Good luck n if u have any more questions ........ask away !!!! i love this site !!!!

Gas X and Prilosec/Zegerid will do wonders. Post-surgery I discovered that gas, acid,and spasms all feel a LOT like extreme hunger >.<

Thank you both for your replies. I will try some gas x strips. I have been taking Prilosec since surgery. Knowing that this has happened to someone else in comforting.
