Stomach hungry but brain is not?

I am 10 days into my sleeve and this morning I have noticed my stomach starting to rumble which stopped after I finished my protein shake. Whats weird is how my brain is processing it and the best way to describe it is confused. I am eager to move to full liquid to see what my sleeve will handle with semi solids like yogurt. Is this normal at all? I have not deviated from the clear liquid at all yet. I havent felt that tingling or full sensation since day two when I first began to sip liquids. I can handle 8oz of liquid so far no problem but havent attempted to go beyond that. I have my first follow up on Thursday.

    ^^^This. Absolutely. But even more, try to embrace and encourage your ambivalence! By doing that, you can maximize this vacation from food!! At this point look at it as I need to eat "x" or "y" to mee

    Feeling satisfied and full are two different things. The farther you get post op, the more capacity your stomach will have. If you are always chasing the full feeling, it will be very easy to overea

    you likely won't feel full for awhile. For one thing, you haven't started up on solid foods yet (and once you do, you'll start feeling the restriction), and for another, some of your nerves were cut

Hello all, I am 3 days post OP, whenever I drink Water or the shakes after I swallowed and got to the stomach. My stomach started to rumble like it's gassy. And also feels like I need to pass gas, but even will have a bowel movement if I try to ??‍♀️ what do I do?

Okay so I swear that for the first 6-8 weeks after being sleeved my stomach would NOT stop growling.
It was weird bc no feeling of hunger was there, but my head kept trying to tell me it was time to eat bc my stomach was making nonstop gurgling noises.

I learned to embrace the gurgling and would even make jokes about it.
Now that I’m 3.5 months post-op, the gurgling has slowed down, but it still happens from time to time and it just cracks me up.
The other day I was in a Pilates class and it was gurgling so bad the instructor noticed. all I could do was shrug and move on. For the record, I wasn’t even remotely hungry when it happened.
