Hi,

I was filled yesterday, making 5.5cc in my 10cc band. Today my stomach is gurgling....after liquids and mushy, and not able to eat much at all for honestly the first time in this process. Could this be I am too tight?Since I am finally feeling "that sensation" I hope this isn't a bad thing! Thanks....

I still gurgle after 7 years.. I never know when it's going to happen. I know I'm not too tight. For me it's just my band telling me it's working. I can go weeks and it doesn't happen or sometimes it happens 5 days in a row. It may settle down in a few days. I wouldn't be too concerned. I know if happens to many bandsters. Now if you were having pain that would be a different story.

Gurgling in normal as food passes from above the band to the stomach.

      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.
