Gas Or Stomach Growling

[azhoselady 17]

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.

Two weeks out very bloated have uncontrollable gas....good question does it settle down?

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 having to relearn my body!

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.

Gas x strips have been my new best friend

good to know I have some of those... okay now I get the rib cage pain! Thanks Tricia. How is everyone feeling today? I am starting to feel more normal!

Hope you are all doing good!
