Rummblie in my Tummy... Stomach Growling normal?



Recommended Posts

Ok, so I was banded yesterday. Last night and this morning my tummy is growling. Dr. B put me on broth and Water and gatorade for two days, yesterday and today.

I am sip sip sipping broth right now to try and calm the rummblie in my tummy, but don't know what else to do.

Is the growling normal? Do I need to worry? Is it as bad as getting sick?

I am just worried that the "movement" will make my band slip or something.

Yeah my tumbly was rumbly for quite a while. It took a couple months for my tum to figure out what was going on. I'd be eating (drinking actually) while my tum rumbled. Your body just has to adjust to this new thing, give it time.

Congrats on being banded!

Oh and I found that warm stuff helped the rumblies the best. Just keep doing what you are doing, keep sip sip sipping along!

Yep, it's totally normal! My family used to laugh at me when they could hear it all the way across a room! It will settle down before too long, although after 4 months it still happens to me occasionally.

I'm nearly 2 years out and my tummy still likes to join the conversation. It's not nearly so bad now, but every now and then it has something to say, lol.

First of all...congrats on the band! I have never been able to hear my tummy growl until after surgery. It growls so loud now but I think it's funny. So far I haven't heard that this is a sign of anything wrong. I guess as long as you feel OK then I wouldn't worry. You're just another growler now!!

I agree w/ everyone else....NORMAL!!!! I was never like this pre-band....and it did settle way down after I started eating food. I had to remind myself that it wasn't hunger...just fussing as it felt different!! ;)

ALso I can now belch better than some men!!!!!!!!!! :D My mom will fall over if she ever hears it....trained ladies didn't do this!! :Banane35: And the other end now makes music routinely......

God Bless,

My stomach growls alot tooo... I like to think of it as my stomach eating the FAT!!! :-) makes me feel better. I think it is all good. It usually happens more after a fill or right when I had the surgery. BUt don't worry... its normal!

Thanks all. I think it is pretty weird. I feel totally stuffed up top, but my bottom tummy is growling for food.

I have less restriction today (day 4) drank my 6 oz shake in about 30 minutes instead of 2 hours like yesterday. I am totally full though. Just hope I can get my Water in today. I have not been doing a great job of that the past few days.

Thanks for the reassurances. I get the growls, and every once in a while I will hiccup (you know those one hiccup hurting things) and I just don't want to pop a stitch, or something. So it is nice to know I am not alone in the tummy growling sector.

Hi there,

congratulations for your band! that's the first step for this long walk that lays ahead of you now.

As everybody else mentioned, it's completely normal for your stomach to make all that noise (burping and farting is also a common activity once you get banded :cool: ) but you should try to avoid those hiccups, don't stress out and be gentle to your body and let it heal calmly.

keep drinking but always in small sips, take it slowly.

Yep, listen to those that have gone before you, welcome to lap band land. The rumbly is a normal thing, and only two days out , wow you have some new things in store for you. My advice, read and learn what to eat and not to eat, dont try anything without first hearing how others have done. This trial and error method is a ...................and if you have a bad experience learn from it. Good luck

I woke up from band surgery sooooooooooooooooooo hungry!!! I eventually went on to lose at least 60 pounds before I got a fill so I did okay! But it seems like not too many people talk about being hungry right after surgery!:)

Wow, I guess everyone is different! It took me almost three weeks before I felt hungry at all! But now...watch out! I could eat a house! :hungry:

oh I am so glad i am not alone. I am only 3 days out from surgery and my tummy has been grumbling constantly. I did try a Protein Drink this morning for the first time and I was miserable for awhile I may have drank it too fast, I drank about 3oz in 30 min. But the rubling in my tummy cause me to be unab;e to go to sleep last night I had yo get up and get some broth for it to settle down, is that wrong?

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
