This gurgling is so annoying and embarrassing especially at work :(

I noticed with some foods i dont gurgle as much or it's just in my head. Are there foods that you notice make you gurgle louder than others? It's so uncontrollable too! Any suggestions? thoughts? anything?

You will get use to it. I think I gurgle less now than I did right after. Some days Water makes me feel like I will guggle, if I hake a big sip. I find as long as I am take small bites and small sips I do not guggle.

Fortunately I don't gurgle but maybe you could try shuffling a bunch of papers or running the paper shredder a lot! Just kidding. That's a tough one. I used to gurgle a lot early on but I don't any more. Could it be related to your restriction level? Maybe get a wee bit out and see if that helps.

oh yes gurgling usually happens while I eat too fast or too much. Or it can just happen after i eat telling me that im satisfied. It all depends, it happens when i drink Water, i can hear it going down through the band, kinda creepy lol

I can hear stuff sometimes if I think about it but people around me can't. Speaking of staplers and tricks like that I've found myself asking my coworkers elaborate questions to make them eat slow so I don't look weird taking an hour to eat. Lol. Tricks of the trade I guess.

I am 3 years out and if I am having Soup or other liquids and lean forward, I gurgle. I don't like it either. It happens when I lie down at night too.

Omg so I'm not the only one. I'm with you it's so embarrassing. I find soft drink is the worst hence why I rarely drink it now. I have found the tighter my band gets the worse the gurgling. If I have more liquids its worse.

After three years, I still gurgle constantly. My family likes to say its my band talking!

I'm in sales and it happens often while on sales calls and I just laugh it off. Better gurgling than 70 pounds heavier!!!

I am the same. Sitting here now listening to my Breakfast go through my entire body! I am just used to it now. Water does the same too. It can't be "tight" as I have only ever had one fill! I think it is eating too fast, too much air, etc.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
