Foods that wont make you gurgle?



Recommended Posts

This gurgling is so annoying and embarrassing especially at work :(

I noticed with some foods i dont gurgle as much or it's just in my head. Are there foods that you notice make you gurgle louder than others? It's so uncontrollable too! Any suggestions? thoughts? anything?

You will get use to it. I think I gurgle less now than I did right after. Some days Water makes me feel like I will guggle, if I hake a big sip. I find as long as I am take small bites and small sips I do not guggle.

Fortunately I don't gurgle but maybe you could try shuffling a bunch of papers or running the paper shredder a lot! Just kidding. That's a tough one. I used to gurgle a lot early on but I don't any more. Could it be related to your restriction level? Maybe get a wee bit out and see if that helps.

oh yes gurgling usually happens while I eat too fast or too much. Or it can just happen after i eat telling me that im satisfied. It all depends, it happens when i drink Water, i can hear it going down through the band, kinda creepy lol

I can hear stuff sometimes if I think about it but people around me can't. Speaking of staplers and tricks like that I've found myself asking my coworkers elaborate questions to make them eat slow so I don't look weird taking an hour to eat. Lol. Tricks of the trade I guess.

I am 3 years out and if I am having Soup or other liquids and lean forward, I gurgle. I don't like it either. It happens when I lie down at night too.

Omg so I'm not the only one. I'm with you it's so embarrassing. I find soft drink is the worst hence why I rarely drink it now. I have found the tighter my band gets the worse the gurgling. If I have more liquids its worse.

After three years, I still gurgle constantly. My family likes to say its my band talking!

I'm in sales and it happens often while on sales calls and I just laugh it off. Better gurgling than 70 pounds heavier!!!

I am the same. Sitting here now listening to my Breakfast go through my entire body! I am just used to it now. Water does the same too. It can't be "tight" as I have only ever had one fill! I think it is eating too fast, too much air, etc.

      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.
