Does your stomach growl?



Recommended Posts

I am revising from band to bypass on 13th...

Sitting here hungry on a liquid diet and wondering, after bypass does your stomach still growl when you are hungry? This maybe a stupid question... But just wondering...

With my band I would eat, the food would be in my pouch but the bottom half of stomach is screaming "feeed meeee now!"

Sometimes. Maybe more just general noises than growling. Sometimes it alerts me that I haven't had enough to drink and drinking will quelch it. Sometimes it is acid reflux so be sure to take a PPI if it is prescribed.

No never. When you have your surgery you will have a lot of noises coming from inside but it won't be growling. The noises I hear now are in my intestines either liquid or solids; I guess because stomach contents gets there so fast now.

I'm still new (only 1 1/2 month out) and I have YET to feel an iota of hunger sensations! It blows my mind every day! My stomach makes crazy noises sometimes (likely gas) but it's not growling.

I'm 11 months out now and my new plumbing does make noise but it's settled down a lot in the last 6 months or so. It will make noise occasionally now but typically it's when I need more liquid/water.

      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.
