I am 4 days and my pouch is also rumbling and have had diarrehea as well, they told me it was because of the contrast for the test however at 8 days post op though, I do not think it could be that for you...

Everything you are experiencing is normal! My tummy was very loud for about 2 weeks and still is sometimes. It doesn't mean anything bad. I had diarrhea for about the first week and that's normal. You are drinking mostly liquids and when you get more solid food it will firm up.

Yep! Rumbly tummy is just par for the course. Seems to be air bubbles and gas rumbling around and simethicone drops ("Little Tummys" for babies) seems to help some with that.

Thanks so much for the replies. I feel a bit more relaxed about it. My husband and kids were keeping their distance from me coz I was stinking, between farting and pooping! Yuk but you will b glad to hear that today, my poop was much more solid, so that made me real happy. But I am missing my daughter's football game coz I don't dare leave the house. But 11bs gone in 8 days, in thrilled!

      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.
