Sleeve_Me_Alone 656 Posted November 22, 2021 I am about 2 months post-op and my stomach is very "loud" sometimes. I'm not sure what causes it, but I think its pretty common. I've read that it gets better with time. I've noticed that it gets worse when I've gone too long between meals or if I eat/drink too fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunnyway 345 Posted November 22, 2021 Stomach or intestine rumbling is not a sign of hunger. It's merely food slowly moving through your system. Don't use it as a cue to eat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vikingbeast 987 Posted November 22, 2021 My stomach makes weird noises when it's trying to digest. I thought it was hunger—it felt like my stomach was being rubbed against itself—but it's not, it's just my stomach making weird noises. Bubble gut (aka roid gut, HGH gut) is a different thing altogether. Unless you're injecting a bunch of so-called "research chemicals" into yourself, you don't have bubble gut.

Arabesque 7,442 Posted November 23, 2021 Actually, I was just talking to my surgeon’s colleague this morning about the noisy poltergeist I have in my tummy. She laughed & said it’s a very common side effect but some are noisier than others. It’s caused by our body digesting & absorbing nutrients so it’s a good sign your body is doing what it’s supposed to be doing. She also said you can often see the ripples going across your abdomen as the digested food is passing through our digestive system. Guess what I’m going to do when it happens again 😆. As @Sunnyway said it is not a sign you are hungry & should eat. 1 Sunnyway reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Princess Mellykins 5 Posted November 25, 2021 Everything I take a bite of food and swallow it is a loud affair. One month post op! Yayy the joys!!! 🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QuirkyParrot 28 Posted December 1, 2021 My tummy puts on quite the symphony when I'm eating and for a short time after. I'm constantly asking my husband and/or kids "did you hear that?" They usually don't hear it - usually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
