My schedule gets crazy sometimes and I don't get a chance to eat.. I know it's bad but I make sure to at least get Water in! Anywho if I don't eat I get really bad pain on my sides! It seriously hurts and makes me want to just lay down with a heat wrap. The minute I eat it goes away and I'm fine! I think this is so weird and just wanted to see if anyone else has the same issue! I'm going to my 3 month check up in 2 weeks so I'm going to ask them why that happens because I don't ever feel hungry I just get sever pain when my body needs something.. It kind of sucks! Even when I go to have a bm I don't get a normal sign I just get intense cramping in my lower stomach and I now know that means I need to go... It's so strange!

OMG I am soooooo glad I found you. I have been having this problem too and I didn't know if it was normal or not. What did you doctor say? I have been freaking out thinking something is wrong cause I shouldn't be feeling this so called hunger pain. It is such a horrible feeling and I can't stand it. I am like searching everywhere for anything to eat to make it go away. Today I got that severe pain in my lower stomach and I had to go to the bathroom. I felt like total crap was sweaty and thought I was going to throw up. I felt a lot better like 20 or 30 min later but it was horrible. What is going on? OMG I am so glad I saw your post. :)

Maybe, LOL... It sounds like we are having this as well as bathroom issues so maybe it is from that but why would eating make it feel better that's what doesn't makes sense to me. That is what makes me think it is because we are hungry.

What test did you get done? Should I get some test done just to be sure? OMG I am so glad to hear they go away. How long did it take to go away 1 month out of surgery or longer? Do you eat regularily? I find if I do that I don't get them as much but it's hard to remember sometimes. :)

Did you do anything different that might have made them go away at that time like eating more often or anything? Do you think it was just a hunger pain?

I have had this same problem and I am six months out. It had gotten so bad twice I had to be taken to the hospital. They said my pouch was clamping shut and put me on Bentyl. It help keep the pouch and intestines in a good contracting motion. When I stay on it I do well, when I miss a few weeks (due to lack of money for my meds) I will start having spasms again.

Yeah that is what I was thinking too but my nurse put me on som acid reducers and it has seem to take the pain away so I am thinking it had to do with acid and when I ate it helped so it made the pain go away. I am suppose to be on theses meds for the first 3 months but for some reason I was never given them which surprised my nurse as well. I have only been taking them for like a week now but so far so good. :)

My doc gives us Protonix for six months for acid.

      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...

      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
