Gurgling stomach normal?



Recommended Posts

Hi

I felt a little naseuous this morning, slight tummy ache, but I think it was a need to 'go.' I took 30 ml of MoM earlier this morning & it helped.

I ate Breakfast (about 3 1/2 tablespoons of cream of wheat w/ 1 tablespoon of unflavored Protein powder) about 3 hours ago. No issues there.

I'm drinking my fluids & my stomach has been gurgling like crazy the last 1/2 hour. Am i hungry or is it telling me something else?

Does your stomach still gurgle? What does it mean? Good thing I'm working from home. Otherwise, my co-workers would think my stomach was attacking!

Feedback? Thank you!!!

PS - 12 days post-op

I've had my gurgling stomach wake me up from a nap! lol

Unless it's accompanied by discomfort or issues, it's normal and happens to lots of us. It doesn't necessarily mean hunger.

hehe, totally normal. It'll last for a few weeks yet. Mine only does it now when I've eaten something spicy and then it'll chug back into action. As if its saying 'Oi?! What's this?!'

Embrace the gurgling. Its just your body getting used to things. As above, if you're not in pain/discomfort/have a fever, its all good.

It was a great source of amusement for my partner and I in the early days. Now its stopped, I really kind of miss it! :blink:

For the 9 months, my stomach made noises like rocks in a garbage disposal every time I drank or ate. Now it only grumbles a bit on occasion. When I accidentally overeat, I still get the gurgling sensation as air bubbles move around the food in my stomach, but the bubbles were never painful.

I get a lot of gurgling, especially at bedtime after I've had my last drink of Water and some pills. :)

Mine sounds like a dragon fight. The worst was when I tried to eat cauliflower.

Mine reminded me of dinosaurs fighting in my tummy! Like there's have said, it would also wake me while I was sleeping. I was so worried it wouldn't go away before I had to start teaching, so my high school students would focus on the noises rather then what I said.

However, as I progressed through the food stages, the noises quieted down. I think once I was eating soft foods, it was very infrequent and barely audible.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Glad this "stomach talk" is normal :)

As long as you are not having pain, nausea, vomiting, or excessive bloating, bowel sounds aren't unusual.

      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.
