Does your stomach still growl after RNY surgery?



Recommended Posts

Will my stomach feel hungry even though I am eating through my new "pouch?"

My stomach has never growled since my surgery. I am NEVER hungry!!!, I can tell when I need to eat because I get shakey, but no hunger pains, ever.

My surgery was 12 /10 and there has been no feelings of hunger. I have to schedule my two meals each day.

How different we all are. Every time I eat or drink my stomach growls. It never growls because I'm hungry.

I am 2 months out and I do get hungry and my tummy growls at times and I can feel that gnawing empty feeling you get when you are truly hungry. It's weird, I didn't think that would be the case, but I guess we all are different. But - that said, I don't have as much "head hunger" as I did before and I do get full a LOT faster, so it is much easier to eat far less.

I don't generally feel hungry unless I haven't eaten all day which I hardly ever do as I eat regularly. My stomach does make some funky loud growls sometimes though. Usually when or after I am eating. Embarrassing sometimes. But if that's the worst thing I can live with that.

I am 3 months out and never felt hungry until I started working out. Now I actually get hungry but my stomach does not growl for that reason.

My stomach actually makes noise, I would call it growling every time I put anything in to it. Sometimes it is loud enough for my husband to hear it. It is almost like it has a mind of its own.

The good news is when I am hungry it does not take much to fill be up. About 1/4 to a 1/2 cup of food and I am full again.

Like @ mentioned, my stomach rarely if ever growls due to hunger. It usually growls sometimes after I eat or drink. I love that though because prior to surgery I would eat every time my stomach growled and that was quite often.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
