I didn't see anything that said my stomach would be growling! Has anyone had this feeling so early on or maybe it's because of the clear liquid phase. I'm hungry lol :-0

Lots of gurgles and pain from gas. As Shrek says "better out than in."

Mine rumbled like crazy. Wasn't really a hungry feeling though.

Mine has growled a couple times. I'm 6 days post-op and today I felt really hungry. I have my follow-up with my surgeon tomorrow so I plan on bringing it up.

Wow I don't see my surgeon till 2 weeks post op! Funny to see all the different orders from different surgeons on these forums

Liquids and purees go down very easily and get funneled out very quickly from your stomach. Wait until week 3 & 4 with semi/solids. It's a different story. You get full so super fast. Each day is different. I'm 8 weeks out and for the most part I'm not that hungry. Sometimes I do get hungrier than others though. But def not like before surgery.

I was sleeved 10-28 & yes, I have been hungry. broth helps a lot. When broth didn't work, I had a Protein shake. Shame on me!! We will get through it! I'm feeling better & better every day! It gets better...I promise Good luck & God bless!

I'm 3 days out and I'm hungry I think. My head hurts like I haven't eaten. Because I haven't. With preop liquids and post op liquids I will be like 8 days liquids only as I can't travel on the plane if I introduce protein to early. I'm looking forward to a shake big time. Never thought I'd actually want to drink a protein shake. It might also be head hunger because my stomach feels different and I'm

Associating it with hunger.

Surgery on Oct. 29th and also struggling with the hunger thing. I experience the rumblings and the pains. No way I'm going to let someone tell me it's in my head. Last night I took a bunch of tums and that helped some, I'm not sure if it was because in calmed some acid or it just filled me up. I called the doc today because my postop appointment isn't until the 14th. She said the tums were okay and suggested I double my acid reducing rx. The problem will probably continue though until I can eat solid food. She agreed I could try a Greek yogurt on Thursday, 8 days out. It's nice to hear that I'm not the only one with this problem. I'm so jealous of others on the forum that have no appetite.

I've been allowed to have yogurt since 3 days out! I'm so surprised at some of these restrictions. I have done well to follow rules, but I can't imagine if I was on clear liquid that long ????
