Right after surgery they could not believe how fast I got up to walk around the hospital I was so nervous about the clotting. I am still on stage 2 until I go back to see my surgeon April 13th. Can anyone tell me have they felt like something is moving around in there stomach and I also hear growling noises is that normal?

You feel like there is a little alien in there trying to communicate with you? If so, that's normal!! From what I hear it's a lifetime thing so guess we might as well get used to it.

I just had surgery 3 days ago and I have been experiencing the gurgling also...I figured that it was just my stomach growling...it feels like more like a purr rather than the roar I would get before the surgery.

      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.
