I've recently lost about 60 lbs of weight, and i've started feeling shortness of breath and an empty sensation in my abdomen a few hours after and before meals. is this just hunger? i've never felt this before and i used to do intermittent fasting?

Shortness of breath: Shortness of breath at rest may be part of the gastric syndrome you're experiencing, but if you note abnormal shortness of breath with exertion, it should be evaluated. With your dieting and weight loss, vitamin deficiency, iron deficiency,anemia would be some concerns. I recommend seeing your physician or an internist to evaluate you and order appropriate tests including chest xray and EKG.
