Middle of the night gnawing....

Hi All,

I am 6 days post op. I'm still trying to learn the signals that my new stomach is giving me. I have one thing that is really bothering me. During the middle of the night, I have such an intense gnawing in my stomach, that it wakes me up. It's very uncomfortable. The only way I can get it to settle down is to eat or drink something. Is this hunger? Acid? Gas? Is this mid-night snack something I'm going to have to continue? I am taking my PPI. Meeting my liquids goal. Almost meeting my Protein goal. Just a few grams short. Any advice is appreciated.

That's how acid felt to me and I had to increase my PPI and take a second one before bed for a couple of months.

And yes eating made the acid go away for me, still was acid not hunger.

Since you are just in the early days of post-op, you can't really trust the signals that your new stomach is giving you. it is still in the healing phase, so it's all confused!! There should be no reason that you're feeling real hunger. I have to agree, it is most likely acid.

I'm sure that's what it is. I may go ahead and call my Dr and report it. My post op is the 17th but that's too many days of discomfort. Thank you so much for the helpful advice.

I had sleeve on the 2nd. I have this and feeling. If I take my anti spasm mess or acid mess it goes away. I think the the antacid is the way to go. For me that feeling is a sign that it is time for my meds.

      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...
