elcee 3,341 Posted March 12, 2012 The noises are food ,liquid and digestive juices moving from the digestive tract. they sound louder because the tract is no longer continuously filled. Pockets of air bubble up through the digesting food as it makes its normal path through the body. So it is perfectly normal and not as many people think, an indication of hunger.

BusyMom1961 1 Posted March 12, 2012 It's almost been two years since I had my surgery and my stomach still gurgles when I drink something. It makes me and my son laugh. It is sort of loud, but just a testament to the best thing I have ever done for myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KathyOfAlabama 19 Posted March 12, 2012 I had posted the same thing not long ago. I am four weeks out and it is much better than it was. Everyone has an opinion as to what causes it. I blame it on rebellion. Just my insides protesting the lack of food and then what is there is something healthier than what its used to being fed! 1 phatkatblue reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm petrified to have a meeting that serves lunch. Even just drinking Water sounds like I have a dinosaur trapped in my body. 1 kr8160311 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B-52 7,113 Posted March 12, 2012 I have no idea what it is. Just glad I have them. I like to think that since my digestive tract is always empty, when I feed it it gobbles it up like some kind of beast! Hogwash I know. 1 skkcs reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loneil 25 Posted March 16, 2012 Wait till your throat gurgles as liquids pass through your band like a drain emptying. Cool! This is cool! If I drink cold Water, I can feel it stop and then drain down, weird!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
