I'm on day 3 post op and I'm doing great. The gas in my shoulders is almost gone and I'm getting around pretty good. The funny thing is that my tummy sounds like a monster lives in it. It growls and gurgles constantly. I'm keeping up on my protein drinks (about 80 protein grams/ day) and lots of other fluids. Last night I was able to resume normal "movements" so I'm not holding anything in. I just find the constant gurgling and growling funny. Even my dog noticed it. LOL

I here ya! I had those growling and gurgling noises for about 6 months then they completely went away. Now at a year out my throat gurgles!

It is one of the pleasure in being banded that we suddenly develop a body that is capable of making noises u never even dreamed of.. welcome to banderland

This was so funny. I hope the sounds go away or at least never embarrass you in public

lol.. thats funny. Im glad that its all going well for you. way to go.

I totally understand how you feel. I would be sitting in the middle of a college class and my friends next to me would start cracking up because my stomach was making so much noise. Lets just say it still does it even after almost 4 months and 1 fill but not as much. It really makes me laugh. I have found that drinking water while it does it really helps, especially when I am not able to "feed" the monster inside. :-)
