It's been so long it's hard to recognize hunger pains..but I do appear to be getting them. I thought we wouldn't feel hunger for a while. I am also not able to eat my normal 3 oz..my stomach feels uneasy and getting a dull aching pain when I eat. I'm 5 weeks out and this is new for me..never had any problems or intolerances except with the Protein shakes..anyone else experience this? I'm thinking of going back to liquid diet if it continues. I don't enjoy eating right now anyway because it's started to feel uncomfortable.

I'm only two weeks out, and I swear I had hunger pains last night.

Hey I think you accidentally left this in pre-op!

I would have pains when my sleeve would get completely empty post-op that kinda felt like hunger pains. And I would get queasy and have an odd bubble pain behind my breast bone if I drank or ate too fast. For the first couple of weeks, the answer was to always be sipping on something - Water or Protein drink. That kept something in the sleeve, kept me hydrated, and the sipping (and I mean REALLY TINY sips) kept me from drinking too fast and getting pains. It's a learning experience to be sure.

I had them and then when I went on Prevacid I realized it was stomach acid. Not hunger pangs. Boom they were gone within hours

Yeah I can't seem to get my profile to show I'm out of pre op either.

I think that's my issue..I'm doing intermittent fasting as well..no solids till around 11:00-7:00 but I do drink a protein Soup in the morning with my Vitamins..maybe it's just not enough to keep me going.

That is a very good description of what I am gong thru. Hunger pangs, and yet an uneasy, slightly queasy feeling. I thought it was my Premiere shakes, but having the pangs now, and the last shake I had was this morning. And I am on Prilosec, but will keep that theory in mind...

Your experience is very similar to mine. Thanks for sharing!

This is good to know. I have a prescription that my Dr gave my for stomach acid but haven't been taking it because I thought I didn't have it. Maybe I'm mistaking this for hunger?? I'm going to try my Prevacid!
