I had my band put in almost a month ago and haven't had any fills yet, but whenever I walk after drinking anything, I hear this terrible sloshing sound! Obviously it's coming from my stomach and travelling into my ears, and I can sort of feel liquid going back and forth. Does this last forever? It's not painful but it is distracting. I would expect it if I drank after eating, but even if I drink on an empty stomach I get the sloshing. I thought it would have gone right through the band.

u mean girgaling? like strange sounds that come from the stomach...its like upper pouch is a sink and as it goes through the band it girglles its way down the narrow sink.

i get that all the time.. usualy its from drinking too fast..

if you slow it down see what happens..

nothign to worry about,

Nope, not gurgling. I can actually feel liquid going side to side like the tide in my stomach with every step I take. Doesn't matter how slow I drink and can last a couple of hours.

I'm not particularly worried but, as I said, it is distracting when I'm trying to work and my stomach feels like a boat with a bad keel.

thats odd its funny that you mention that not sure if you have any children but when kids are small since they have very little belly fat you can actually hear the liquid in their bellys sloshing around. Specially after they drink a bottle of milk. Could just be normal from your belly beeing empty and full of Water.< /p>

      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.
