I felt the same around 2 weeks post op (day 2 I was still rolled in a ball moaning and vomiting so you are doing well), but in the end it turned out it was just my new sleeve. Even now it grumbles all day long, very noisy.

The feeling of hunger post op for me is much higher in my abdomen compared to pre op.

At the time I read the posts saying it was acid and just the feeling/noises of the sleeve but was adamant that was not true for me, but it did turn out to be the case. True hunger for me did not return until the six month mark and it is still significantly less than pre op.

Good luck :)
