LOTS! Yes, your stomach will rumble. To the point where your loved ones will go, "Is that YOU?" :) Your first few weeks you'll be constipated then have diahrrea. It's common. You're only putting in liquid so that's all that'll come out. Once you get on solids you'll probably need to start taking Fiber because of all that. Some foods will be noisier than others and you'll figure out which ones do that. I've found ones that are more dense (like ground meat, deli meat, etc.) vs. "sliders" (i.e. yogurt, mashed potatoes, etc.) are not as noisy because your stomach isn't working that hard at digesting them. Personally I don't burp but every now and then I hiccup. If I hiccup that means I've had too much.

What other questions?

Thanks for answering.... How long before I can get back into the groove of normal activities ie...bringing up/ down laundry, find a comfy position for more than 5 minutes?, stop pooping with every gas output? Lol

I was told no heavy lifting for 6 weeks, but most activities you can resume when you are feeling up to it. If it doesn't hurt, its probably OK.

      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.
