I have been noticing that if I am hungry and have to wait to eat, or forgot to eat, that I get a dull pain then my tummy talks. Is this something that others have experienced?

Some people confuse the stomach growling with hunger pains. This isn't necessarily true. Try drinking some liquids if its not time to eat and if that doesn't work, try a Protein snack of some kind.

My tummy rumbles the loudest in the mornings as i sip coffee & its pretty embarrassing it sooo loud.

When I say tummy talking I really mean I am hungry. I have noticed that if forget to eat or I realize I haven't eaten in 6-8 hours that I get a dull pain. Just curious if I have done something to my band.

I know what you mean. I have alarms set for meals and Water. I notice when 4 hours pass I get a gassy feeling where my tummy or back starts hurting.

It's prolly cause you are truly hungry. Make sure you eat every 4 hours. What happens to me if I don't is I forget all the rules about eating slowly chewing well and making good choices. Then I have big regrets. I keep healthy Snacks around just in case. Things like Protein Bars, baby bell cheeses, shakes even vege chips which I find very satisfying

      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.
