Did my tiny stomach growl or was that my imagination???



Recommended Posts

Hi there everyone, I was just wondering if anyone had the feeling that their stomach growled after the surgery...I am sure that I have felt and heard it growl...is this normal? I am still on the clear liquid diet, anyone else have this feeling after and hopefully went away? I thought that removing that hormone that I would not feel hungary anymore, but it seems like I am hungary...please help if anyone has experience with this and any advice....Thank you so much!:D:confused1::)

I had my surgery on Thursday, June 10th. My tummy really started talking today. I think it might be my intestines starting to work again:thumbup:

My tiny tummy has been very vocal! I had surgery on 6/8 and it started rumbling the next day. I tried Protein Shakes today for the first time and they went right through me (TMI). I am sorta hungry, but not overwhelmingly so.

Mine is SO verbal!!

Its weird as well the trail of bubbles I can feel when I take a sip, having to wait for them to rise before the next one - I couldn't rush the sips if I wanted to!!

I had my surgery on March 18 and my stomach growled plenty. I did and still do get hungry but not as bad as before surgery. I think it gets easier and more easy to manage with a couple months away from surgery when you are adjusted to the new you. It can take a bit of time so don't panic. I still have hunger but when I eat, I fill up fast and with a really small amount of food.< /p>

      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.
