Stomach rumble after 1st fill?



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I had my 1st fill yesterday and did the whole mushie thing...had no problems other than that my stomach growled all night like I was hungry.

Have you ever had this happen? I wonder if it was "head hunger" or my stomach's reaction to the fill? Odd...

Thanks!

Sometimes your stomach can growl but you're not hungry, but generally if you've got tummy rumbles and you feel hungry, its not head hunger. You are hungry. Not that you necessarily should do anything about it just after a fill while you're still on mushies, but ignoring physical hunger is much easier than ignoring head hunger for me.

I posted about this same topic a couple weeks ago! I have since had an additional fill, and the grumbling went away. I simply cannot explain the extreme hunger I felt from that last fill - I would swear someone took the band away from me during that fill, cause I would rumble and feel so hungry. And it wasn't head hunger this time! Anyway, I got another little fill last week, and the rumbling went away. I asked my dr. about it, and he couldn't explain it. I had excellent restriction for a couple months after surgery - didn't even need a fill. Went for a fill and GOT HUNGRY?!? Got another fill, not-so-hungry now. Still loving my band, but wondering just the same!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
