Hunger Pains?

FindingReneeAgain · June 30, 2011

I'm wondering if all of the rumbling, growling, and other sounds coming from my stomach are normal after about a week out. I'm eating three times a day but can't usually eat any Snacks because I'm trying hard to get my liquids in and then I feel full. I am still on a full liquid diet and will be for another week but I'm not sure if this is the reason. I even woke up at 3 am this morning with my stomach growling and rumbling. Sound familiar? Is this normal? I don't know.

I'm just 3 days post op and I have the same problem, my cousin who is an RN says that our stomach is trying to digest the liquids or foods. It's strange because last night I hadn't drank anything in like 3 hours and my stomach just starts growling. She said it was normal though.

Yes, it's normal. There have been several people on here who have reported it.

I have read that people even name their tummies...My cousin who had the sleeve is 10 months into the sleeve and she says that her stomach still growles, not as much as in the beginning but it still growles and she burps alot.
