Hi Everyone I am 3 days post op. Still swollen and on liquids. I am starting to feel good and had two shakes today.. took me all day to drink them,.. just had 4oz of strained egg drop soup... feeling very full... my tummy is making this noise that sounds new... its sort of a growl, so is this gas or my tummy grumbling? Just wondering if you have had that happen?

I am almost one month out and my stomach growles daily.

I was wondering if this was normal.

Maybe we will both get an answer.

Ugh I'm in the same boat. Am I hungry or is that indigestion? Is that chest/back pain from being full, indigestion, or gas?! I always thought I was really in-tune with my body, but this band threw me for a curve!

Me too, I'm 1 week pos-op. My doctor put me on soft foods because I was getting hungry every 3 hours and my stomach was growling really LOUD. I do notice my back hurts when I finish eating. My doctor told me that pain above your rib cage means you have enough to eat.

      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.
