Old stomach still growling and gurgling



Recommended Posts

This is the start of my 4th week post surgery. So far, so good in most cases. I've had some ups and some downs. One thing that has bothered me and can't figure out is "why is my OLD stomach growling and gurgling so much?" It's not a problem that I need to seek medical care for, but it defiantly is annoying. Anyone else have this and find a cure or does it eventually go away?

I think you mean your "new" much smaller stomach. Yes it will make gurgling, digesting sounds. Nothing to be alarmed about. It may not go away. I know with my sleeve it was always making noises, especially noticeable in a quite room.

mine does the gurgling noises for about 20 minutes or so after I eat. LOL I just fancy it as my stomach saying 'thank-you" and move on. :)

My pouch gurgles a lot too after I eat or especially if I am drinking a lot of Water after working out.

@@retzlpa, I too have that same problem. I don't know how to get rid it either. I had my surgery 6 days ago, and you can definitely hear my stomach and all its gurgling if you are any where near me. I just take the generic for Prilosec and if if don't stop, I use Tums but neither really help.

My stomach makes really weird noises now. Sometimes I just stop eating when it starts making them and then it goes away. Sometimes it is a sign I need to eat. It just depends.

I think he actualy meant what he said his old stomach is Groaning. The reason I say this is becuase my Old stomach did also for about a week and a half after surgery . It was 2 distinct growls from 2 different areas one from my pouch and one from my old stomach. It was rather strange but it did stop. My surgeon told me it was nothing to worry about.

That's when mine does it the most is after drinking . I wonder how I can control that. That's the reason I can't get all my fluids down.

      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.
