Stomach Gurgles When I Eat



Recommended Posts

Why does my stomach gurgle after I eat. Not painful just noisy and new.

Wait till your throat gurgles as liquids pass through your band like a drain emptying. Cool!

The noises are food ,liquid and digestive juices moving from the digestive tract. they sound louder because the tract is no longer continuously filled. Pockets of air bubble up through the digesting food as it makes its normal path through the body.

So it is perfectly normal and not as many people think, an indication of hunger.

(info from gastric band guide , Trudy Williams)

It's almost been two years since I had my surgery and my stomach still gurgles when I drink something. It makes me and my son laugh. It is sort of loud, but just a testament to the best thing I have ever done for myself.

I had posted the same thing not long ago. I am four weeks out and it is much better than it was. Everyone has an opinion as to what causes it. I blame it on rebellion. Just my insides protesting the lack of food and then what is there is something healthier than what its used to being fed!

This. I'm petrified to have a meeting that serves lunch. Even just drinking Water sounds like I have a dinosaur trapped in my body.

I have no idea what it is. Just glad I have them.

I like to think that since my digestive tract is always empty, when I feed it it gobbles it up like some kind of beast!

Hogwash I know.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
