In the past few weeks, my stomach (pretty sure it's the lower part) has been making gurgling sounds. Not hungry gurgles but more like alien gurgles. I'm not hungry or intolerant of foods. It seems to happen at bed time and I lay there listen to the symphony. Weird.

Am I a lone gurgler?

Nope you are not alone. I can't say it's always in the evening or even what exactly causes it. Sometimes it feels like it starts gurgling on the left and gurgles over to the left. Weird sensation. I'm guessing gas or food moving through the band? No clue.

The nurse at my Bariatric Clinic suggested that you take a Probiotic for this. I get mine at my Vitamin shop in the refrigerated section. Your pharmacy may have them but may have to ask as they may be refrigerated. It was explained that what happens after surgery and even when stressed that the bad gut bacteria takes over. The probiotic gives back the good bacteria. I tried this and seen releift the next day.

I have the same gurgling noise and senastion. Mine generally happens about an hour after I drink anything. There is no pain or discomfort, its just a gurgling noise.

      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.
