I really REALLY wish my stomach would Shutup!



Recommended Posts

As I am sitting here at my desk at work, my stomach makes the most noise in this office. Even with people talking around me, you can hear it. Any sip of Water, or anything I chew/eat, it goes crazy!! as if I ate a gremlin. And I don't know why, but its just as embarrassing as farting!!

Has anyone else swallowed a gremlin after this surgery??

I'm being serious btw...about the growling.

Over the years, my "Cat in heat" as my friend calls it has quieted some, but occassionaly can still be heard "on the back year fence". ;)

I've come to think of it as a friend just reminding me that it's still down there ---on the job.

Sometimes, unless it's painful----I think that we just have to find a "fun" way of dealing with it.

If it becomes too bothersome and is restricting your daily life, then by all means discuss it with your bariatric team. They have ways of "quieting the beast from within".

Good luck. Please post and let us know how you are doing.

My new tummy still gurgles quite a bit when I eat sometimes. As soon as it starts I know I best not eat 2 more bites otherwise I'll end up feeling miserable. It's my alarm letting me know I've had enough to eat so I'd better stop.

      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.
