My Stomach Is Growling Or Gurgling?



Recommended Posts

I will be 4 weeks post-op on friday.... yesterday my stomach started growling and gurgling... this is after I eat...before I eat... when ever.. there isnt a specific time when this happens... but the growling triggers my head to think Im hungry... I listened to my head one time and over ate... I started burping and had chest pain which I assumed was from me being over full....

anyone else have this problem?? what does it mean?? when my stomach growls I do have a "hunger" feeling....

It could be gas or acid.. Do you take a PPI like pepcid or zantac? I'll be 4 weeks Friday too =) My tummy makes all kinds of noises too but only the moments before and after I eat.

Something like pepsid helps. A lot of people have the pains that reminds them of hunger pains, or being full but a lot of time it's acid or even healing pains.

Strange but true your stomach has to heal from the inside and the outside and it does weird things and there's weird flips and flops and wave type feelings which is partly healing pains.

My sleeve sings to me all the time...lol! I think as long as you arent having any "issues" just hang in there. No need to take a acid reducer if you dont have heartburn.

My tummy did the same thing the first few days post op. now it doesn't do it anymore. But im taking some medicine for acid or something. I can't recall the name. Perhaps that'll help you too!

Mine was so loud the first few days after surgery (July 16), it scared my dog! It got better when I stopped the pain meds. I still have some gas, but it is getting better (and I hope that continues).

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
