Hello, i had surgery on 3/28 and i am about 7 days out

I have had no complications at all, THank GOD

No pain, or discomfort. At times I wonder if anything was really done!!

However, i have a question

What is up with the growling in my stomach?? Does that mean i am hungry??

I havent felt hungry at all, but I am very conscience of making sure I get all my liquids and stuff in.

I am on the puree stage.

However, sometimes my stomach growls, literally; or it will make another weird sound.

Am i hungry?I dont think its gas, but who knows

I was just very curious, because sometimes it happens while im drinking or out of the blue-- like before bed or when I wake up!

Anybody else??

That's pretty typical for being so close to your surgery. I'm almost 3 months out and I think mine finally stopped talking to me about 3 weeks ago.

yes, I get the growling and the gurgeling. I've just come to terms with it, as my doctor said that it's gonna happen for the first few months.

Yes, I have the same thing. I'm almost three weeks out (March 19th and I "growl" but usually when I drink or eat, like at the dinner table. Odd. My partner has noticed it but we just laugh when it happens.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
