I'm pre-op and I was wondering earlier when my stomach was growling like nobody's business... if my stomach is really small will it ever growl? You just answered my question!

Yep, it will growl like a tiger and generally after something hits it. Mine is LOUD and very amusing!

My stomach growls and it's really gas. I know some people are still hungry after getting the surgery though. You are also on liquids so it's pretty normal considering liquids really don't fill you up (unless they are Protein Shakes - which you need to be drinking a lot at that stage)

When you get to soft foods it will most likely go away. Make sure you drink lots of Water too!

I'm nearly 2 weeks out and my stomach doesn't group, but my doctor put me on regular foods after a week. (I'm not sure how standard this is). I wonder if this is something I should expect?

      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.
