Are you sure the rumbling is actual hunger and not gas or reflux? I'm over 2 weeks post-op and have not had a single moment where I've been hungry. I think you should discuss this with your surgeon.

I had sleeve surgery on Wednesday. Came home today and I am starved. Like my stomach is rumbling. Please tells this goes away soon !

I'm 4 days post op and starving too im.prayong this passes cause if it doesn't I feel like something is wrong..everyone else posting is saying there not Hungry there nauseated or full after a sip of fluid.NoT Me

I did that the first couple of days . Try light pergreso soup. But blend it could. It will full you up & they have all kinds if flavored .i also eat frozen pickle juice which I think is better than my medication.

i do get hungry, doc told me I was thirsty, and other people say it's reflux, or gas, but it is hunger. I am 18 days post op and it has subsided some, but not totally. I can eat what I feel is alot, compared to what some other people say, and it worries me, but I am still eating about an 1/8 of what I used to.. Just eat what they tell you too, and I do get full pretty quickly, that's the good part, if only the scale would move.

Yes it is probably stomach acid.. I still have that issue now.

OMG my stomach has been rumbling so much and so loud, although I don't feel hungry. I keep eating the sugar free popcicles because I trying to reach my liquid goal.

I think the rumbling is from the gas or it my stomach's way of telling me it's pissed at me for what I've done to it.

I am post op day 2 and although i dont feel hungry I have head hunger. Its like i know t I haven't eaten since 12Am the day before my Surgery. I am sipping Isopure, Water, and Chicken Broth alternating my liquids when I'm awake and the so called "hunger" has subsided. I can only sip though as i feel extremely full

I'm 3 days post op.

NOT HUNGRY AT ALL.

I'm afraid to eat,due to all the pain. I just got out of the hospital. My frist few days haven't been as easy as previously thought. This is a journey we are on. I thought I was ready I now realize I could've researched more. I read on this site about some of the feelings of remorse or uncertainty after surgery. I even read about dehydration, feed pumps. I thought nah....that won't be me. Not saying that it was or will become me. I just under stand the risk more clearly now. Gas,pain,water issues, nausea,swalling....oh my...

I sleeved Wednesday and with just a clear liquid diet...you get hungry..I did anyway. Hold on though...full liquids is just a few days away n you can have proteins!!!!! Can't wait!

Jay sunshine...you feel that way now because of your discomfort level...those gas pain can be maddening... Keep moving ..stretch those arms overhead an burp n fart til you feel better. I was burping all the time in recovery and was far from modest about it. You must get that gas out. Do your deep breathing exercises to get in oxygen and get all those melds out of your lungs. Cough, cough, cough. I got out early because out of the three bariactric patients...I did the best..burp..and excuse me please..I'm trying to recover. :-)
