I had my VSG surgery on Monday August 1st. When they were wheeling me out the recovery room my stomach was growling. My surgeon said my surgeon said I did so well I could go home on Tuesday. I was told 64 oz of Water and 60 grams of protien shake.

My stomach and bowels growl and make noise constantly. I can't drink hardly anything. I have managed half a bottle of Water today and half a can of protien shake. I feel hungry. I honestly didn't expect to feel hungry...and i couldn't even eat a sugar free popsicle.

is this normal?

The noises are normal for some and not others my mum and me were sleeved together and her tummy constantly talks to her but my tummy is as quiet as a mouse until I eat and then only talks for about half hour.

As for the hunger, are you taking acid meds? Again I don't need them but my mum does and we are 12 weeks post op. also try drinking Water to see if it's real hunger of thirst.

Wishing lots of luck and sending healing thought! X

I was sleeved the same day as you!

You are supposed to have bowel sounds, that's what the doctor's and nurses listen to in your abdomen.

I had some loud growls this morning and i felt hungry i had 2oz of strained cream Soup and it stopped.

I am praying for you to feel better soon.

      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.
