"Gurgles" When I eat?

[Rebeka McLean 0]

So I'm now 5 days out.

I'm noticing now that I'm able to drink more and get more in me, that my stomach is really noisy!

While I'm drinking I'll take a sip and there will be couple very audible noises as I guess it's dripping through my band. It's even louder with my Protein Shake (which is a little thicker)! It doesn't bother me all that much but just wondering - is that part of being banded? Or is that just for now while my stomach is still getting used to everything?

Very normal. I am 10 days out and get the gurgling. Not as much recently, but I guess it depends on the day and what I drink.

I started making gurgle noises about 8 months when i got a good fill. When the room is really quiet others can hear it too if they are sitting very close to me! LOL! It's weird! It sound like a sink draining or something....

LOL, I happened to be drinking a Protein Shake while reading this forum and listening to my belly. The sounds are very weird but I have also wondered how long will they last. I am on day 4 post op.

Hmm... good to hear from someone who's been banded for a while
