I don't really experience hunger pains throughout the day. I eat because I have to. However, a new "symptom" appeared. If I don't eat after a certain amount of time my stomach starts to hurt until I do eat. It's the worst in the morning. I need to eat almost immediately when I wake up.

Anyone else experience this?

It could be acid. Just as an experiment, next time it happens, eat a Tums and see if the pain goes away. If not, it must be something else.

I had the exact same experience. I talked to my surgeon's PA about it, and she told me it was common, and not serious. It started at 4 weeks post op, and has gradually lessened. Now at 14 weeks I only get the pain occasionally, and not as severely. Not sure if that helps!

I'm 4 weeks post op and this just started! Good to know that it could lessen! Thanks!

Worse case scenario-An Ulcer? I would still have that checked out. I am the unproud custodian of 6 ulcers, three in my stomach, three in my jejunem, those probably would have been duodenal except as a bypass, I am only working with last 2/3 of my small intestine And the only one I could be blamed fo4bwas Hector, the one won from overuse of NSAIDS, they rest kind of snuck,in when nobody was looking out for them!???????
