Stomach sounds like a bathroom/ toilet bowl



Recommended Posts

I need help

My stomach sounds like a toilet is being flushed/plunged

It's so loud that people at work have asked if I was ok. Sometimes it sounds like a fart and other times it's worse

I don't think it's lap band related because the noise is coming from my lower abdomen (no where near the band)

I work in sales and can't have these noises when i'm with a client (happened today and it was mortifying, I almost died of enbarassment )

Hate to tell you this but, yes it is normal and will probably continue. My stomach talks all the time. I just make jokes about it, "sorry about that, guess my tummy wants in on the convo". Lol

Oh dear...

Maybe have some soft music playing in the background at your office to drown out the sound?

You say it sounds like farts and a toiletbowl? did I read correctly?

Are you eating lots of Beans and other gassy foods?

I have had the same exact issues!! It will rubble so much it physically hurts. I don't feel hungry (I don't think). Before my surgery I never let my self get hungry enough to let my tummy growl. I am thinking my issue is my body is physically hungry but I don't realize it till my tummy goes nuts. If that makes any since? Maybe this is one of those things they tell you about having to re-learn your body?

I was recently on a Skype session with the home office and even THEY could hear my stomach! Yes, I've never had so many loud noises. But I'm getting used to it and everybody knows I've got a lapband so I just blame the band. 'Cause I don't have a dog.

Me too. It's a family joke now. I'm in sales and occasionally have to explain the weird noises but I don't mind.

I'm only 1 week post op and was desperately hoping it would go away soon! So what is the cause of it, just gas?

Lol...I have the same problem! It's much worse after I drink something (especially something cold) or if I allow myself to get really hungry! I always wondered if it was band related, but now I'm convinced.

      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.
