Strange feeling in stomach



Recommended Posts

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.

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 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.

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
