My surgery was Aug 1st

My surgery went well not to much pain just gas. I just can't seem to tell when I'm full. My stomach growls all the time and makes other noises. Im hungry all the time. I'm tempted to call my surgeon and ask him how much of my stomach did he take and can he please take some more. No seriously though my stomach growls while I'm eating. Anybody else experiencing this.

  • Different people react very differently to the surgery. Talk to your doc of course but I don't think growling is all that bad. Better then pain, gas or upset stomach. As far as not knowing when you ar

I had to do the same 6 visits with a nutritionist, 1 psych visit and doctor visits but it was worth it to me. Good luck on your journey

@Tonya2bfit I had tons of noises post op. IT was quite embarrassing because I've always had a quiet gut. As far as hunger it may be hard to tell right now with being on full liquids. You may notice it less as your diet advances and trust me you will be able to tell when you're full which is why you want to learn early on to undereat your sleeve. When I was at your stage I was tolerating about 1/4 cup of soup, cream of wheat or applesauce etc. For something like yogurt, I'd eat what I could and come back to it after about 20 min to finish it off. in between, I was sipping Water, and Protein shakes. I will admit I was feeling this sort of spasm in my upper stomach that felt almost like a cross between a burp and a hunger pang. I didn't know what the heck was going on. It did calm down as time went on and I now notice it less frequently and ONLY when I haven't eaten for awhile.

Make sure you are eating enough and make sure you are taking your Prilosec. I just learned about silent GERD so some of the symptoms you described may be related.

Thanks for the insight. I thought it was hunger but someone else told me the samething and you're right it has lightened up. It's good to have support from people that has been though it. Thanks again.
