Gurgling sounds, hungry and cramping



Recommended Posts

I am just 3 days post op, So far it has not been easy but today I'm slightly feeling like myself at least. My problem is my insides feel like they're gurgling constantly. I can feel it and hear it. Also every once in a while I have a stabbing pain in my stomach that goes away quickly. I can't tell if I'm hungry or if it's just the surgery and will get better as I heal. Has anyone else had these problems?

Oh yes. Whenever I drank anything, my stomach would sound like there was a lion growling in there! I had no pain, but the stomach made and still makes the loudest sounds. I think of it as a sink full of Water trying to get down a little drain... sucking, swishing, piggie snorting sounds as the liquid goes down the drain....

Me too, I'm 14 months out today and still have very loud gurgles and noises coming from my tummy. . .I like to hear them cause it lets me know that there are no leaks! The tummy pain I think would be just from the surgery, hang in there it'll be better soon. . . the gurglies, welcome them, they will soon become part of you. . good luck!

I am so glad I read this post. I am 6 days post surgery and I have the same stuff going on. Sometimes very painful that it takes my breath away. I am happy to know that at least the pain goes away. Thanks!!

Anyone ever seen that movie Spaceballs? I feel like the guy who feels a little nauseous in the restaurant, and an alien bursts out of his stomach singing "Hello My Baby" and dancing on the bar counter wearing a top hat? Kind of random, but my stomach is gurgling so much that I half expect that to happen (I'm 4 days post-op)! Too bad Gas-X hasn't helped.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
