Ok, I was sleeved August 14th, surgery went well. I went back to work on August 26th and I've been starving. Or could it be I'm thirsty. Which ever...my stomach is growling. Anyone dealing with this so early on?

I was hungry early out. Make sure you are drinking at least your 64 oz and also sometimes acid mimics hunger. If you're not taking a PPI, maybe talk to your Dr about starting on one.

I still get hungry at 11 weeks, so I know how frustrating it can be. I've gotten used to my stomach noises and even now, my male coworker and I laugh about it. It always starts in quiet meetings.

I get the grumbling too, I think its a constant thing because of the sleeve, I dont feel hungry at all, I have a few friends a couple of yrs post op and they all say acid and thirst do mimic hunger, so get your fluids in if you can.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
