I am 20 days post op tomorrow and tonight after dinner my stomach started gurgling to the point that is has not stopped for an hour now and it is starting to scare me. Has anyone else had this problem? I am really geting concerned about this.

The grugling is lloud very loud, no pain but it doesnt seem to be moving down at all.

Thanks

My stomach makes gurgling noises all the time. Especially at night, when my acid reducers are wearing off and the acid is going nuts. For me, it's definitely acid but it sounds like a rumbling stomach from hunger. It even feels like hunger - almost. It's like the physical hungry symptoms without the urge to eat. It's weird and completely unladylike. It's kind of embarrassing.

But in my case, it's definitely acid. Are you on an acid reducer? Could this be your issue, or could it be that something you ate aggravated your stomach? Tomatoes or raw green veggies are something my tummy is just now getting ready to eat, and if I ate them just a few weeks ago my stomach would go nuts for hours.

My stomach gurgles a lot, I notice it mostly after i drink either Water or milk. There's no pain or discomfort associated with it, and I've joked with my surgeon that my sleeve talks to me. He's heard it and doesn't seem concerned.

I do notice it more at the end of the work day or in the evening. I've also noticed that it has quieted down some in the last week or so (I'm 8 weeks post-op). To be honest, I feel so good and am so happy with my sleeve, I'm happy to put up with a talking tummy.

It just scared me that's all. It has stopped. I have never experienced something like that with my stomach. I have always had a very strong stomach, never gassy never nausiated, never gurgles....I was very lucky before in that but I also think that is one of the reasons I was able to comcume so much...because my stomach could handle ALOT.

I also was wondering about all the noises I'm hearing. I am going to ask my doctor about it at my follow up appointment next week. Sometimes it gets really bad, it's like what the heck is going on in there lol????:lol:

This seems like a pretty common occurrence for me. I'm 5wks post-op (well, almost 6) and my body is still making new noises depending on what I eat or drink. I can't complain too much, though - they don't bother anyone else and the weight is coming off!

      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.
