My Tummy Has A Monster In It.



Recommended Posts

I'm on day 3 post op and I'm doing great. The gas in my shoulders is almost gone and I'm getting around pretty good. The funny thing is that my tummy sounds like a monster lives in it. It growls and gurgles constantly. I'm keeping up on my Protein Drinks (about 80 Protein grams/ day) and lots of other fluids. Last night I was able to resume normal "movements" so I'm not holding anything in. I just find the constant gurgling and growling funny. Even my dog noticed it. LOL

I here ya! I had those growling and gurgling noises for about 6 months then they completely went away. Now at a year out my throat gurgles!

It is one of the pleasure in being banded that we suddenly develop a body that is capable of making noises u never even dreamed of.. welcome to banderland :)

I totally understand how you feel. I would be sitting in the middle of a college class and my friends next to me would start cracking up because my stomach was making so much noise. Lets just say it still does it even after almost 4 months and 1 fill but not as much. It really makes me laugh. I have found that drinking Water while it does it really helps, especially when I am not able to "feed" the monster inside. :-)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
