My stomach still gurgles at times and I'm 16 months out. Noises are very common.

Thanks! Being only a couple days out has me wondering about everything! Anything else I should know?

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.
