The Hunger Growl

[weeze88 12]

So I'm 6 days post and today I was at a meeting and didn't have any Protein Drinks or liquids with me and my stomach starting growling so loud like I was starving. I've been hungry lately but even b4 the band my stomach would growl but not ever that loud that the person next to me could hear it. Is this normal?

Happens to me all the time, but it's not usually hunger pangs...just a noisy stomach!

Exactly. I have a noisy stomach post band too. Sometimes in the middle of the night it is loud enough to wake the dead!

Right after surgery this is very common. It usually, quiets down after awhile. But, as Elcee said sometimes it still "talks" to me. I really don't think that the after surgery thing is technically a hunger growl, I think it is just a tummy getting used to being kind of empty. Does that make sense to anyone? Karen

I am almost 5 months out and mine is still noisy. Not sure why, but the doctor says it's normal. It's annoying in church when the preacher is praying and my stomach talks back- people think I am starving myself, but I'm not.

Yah, unfortunately it seems to be a common theme post band. I am 3 1/2 mos. post-op and have this frequently.

I'm 10 months post op and my stomach is very noisy. My kids laugh because we'll all be watching a movie, then out of the silence my stomach will start growling and talking loudly lol.

It's not hunger, though. It's just stomach noises. It's a bit difficult in the beginning to realize it, but just because you're stomach is growling and noisy doesn't mean you're hungry.

Ok thanks for the replies everyone I was starting

to think I wasn't drinking enough liquids to keep me full.
