Strange feeling in stomach

I sometimes feels this strange feeling in my stomach- its hard to explain. Kind of like a hole in your stomach. Followed by feeling naseous. Has anyone felt this way and if so what is it? What do you think it means?

I'm sorry you are not feeling well. I had my surgery on 8/6/13 and I have the feeling of bubbles, however, no nausea.

When did you have your surgery? If you are feeling concerned I would talk to your doctor. He/She is the only one who should be giving you medical advise.

Good luck.

When you say hole do you mean it feels like things are leaving your stomach quickly? Is it liquids? Protein shakes? Puréed? Full foods? Have you tried taking smaller quantities? So if you can take 4oz have you tried cutting off at 2oz? Or slowed down if its fluids?

Hmm, sometimes after a eat I can "feel" my stomach working. Sounds weird I know, no pain or nausea for me tho. It almost sounds the way it use to when I was hungry... Pre op ..

Is this when your stomach is empty? Sometimes if I haven't eaten when I should have my stomach honestly feels like it's for a lack of a better description.....hollow.

Don't laugh because I know when it is empty it is hollow but it feels that way. LOLThen I know I really need to eat because I start to not feel well.

LOL Your to funny!! Pack some easy quick snacks like pepperoni, cheese sticks, nuts, Protein drinks, beef Jerky these are just a few. Always, keep something with you! Glad I could help! :)

Me too. It goes away if I eat. Doesn't feel like hunger, but it is rather unpleasant. I find myself eating too fast when i'm like this, too, so I have to pay attention and slow down or I make myself sick.

This took me some time to get better at. Every once in a while I have slow myself down but it is getting better. :)

This is me exactly. I don't feel hungry just empty and then I start feeling sick and weak. Then because I waited too long to eat its so hard to eat slow enough so sometimes I eat too much too fast and then feel like crap or have to spit some up.

I tried making a food schedule so I wouldn't go too long between meals but I only followed it for a week. Now I just try like heck to always eat super slow.

I also get the bubble sensation with no nausea. I had my surgery on 8/26/13. do you know what causes this and how long it last?

Oh YES! I had surgery 3 weeks ago on 8/28. I usually feel it when I've eaten something that my stomach just doesn't like. It only takes one bite. I think I keep it filled with water most of the time so I have yet to really the experience of empty.
