So I know this is only my second day post op, but my stomach is growling like crazy. Has anyone else experienced this?

It's due to increased hydrochloric acid (a.k.a. stomach acid) production. In addition, your stomach is still healing. Expect for the growling to be present for at least a few weeks if not longer.

The people on either side of my cubicle can still hear my stomach growl. They have finally stopped verbally commenting after 5 months , but now send me IMs with unwitty remarks - feed that thing before it attacks someone, etc.. :68_sleeping:

It probably isn't because you are hungry though. It is just acid and sometimes we mistake that for true hunger.

I am glad to know I am not the only one with a loud stomach. I thought mine was so loud partially because it is no longer buried under so much fat.

I wonder if our stomachs are louder because they are concentrated to such a smaller area and the part we are left with is the more muscular stronger tissue not the thinner looser tissue that is cut away.

      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?

      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.
