Did my tiny stomach growl or was that my imagination???

Hi there everyone, I was just wondering if anyone had the feeling that their stomach growled after the surgery...I am sure that I have felt and heard it growl...is this normal? I am still on the clear liquid diet, anyone else have this feeling after and hopefully went away? I thought that removing that hormone that I would not feel hungary anymore, but it seems like I am hungary...please help if anyone has experience with this and any advice....Thank you so much!:D:confused1::)

I had my surgery on Thursday, June 10th. My tummy really started talking today. I think it might be my intestines starting to work again:thumbup:

My tiny tummy has been very vocal! I had surgery on 6/8 and it started rumbling the next day. I tried protein shakes today for the first time and they went right through me (TMI). I am sorta hungry, but not overwhelmingly so.

Mine is SO verbal!!

Its weird as well the trail of bubbles I can feel when I take a sip, having to wait for them to rise before the next one - I couldn't rush the sips if I wanted to!!

I think mine woke me this morning...starting on the water again to try to get more liquids today. The first sip went well.

:confused1:I had my surgery late wed the 9th woke up reatching and vomiting and ended up having to stay an extra day. Im home now but I know what you mean my tummy feels like its growling all the time like im hungery I have been tying to follow the plan to a t but get a bloated feeling if I try to concume something every 20 min. Sometimes the growling feels like pain? spasams Maybe? I hope it gets better soon

At three months out, I still get the growling but no hunger pangs. It's just noisy xx

Mine is very verbal too. I noticed when it growls is when i am more thirsty.

Try drinking some liquids.

Thank you everyone for your responces, i was worry that i might be the only one ...lol...the problem might be that i am not getting enough water or liquids, and i stopped taking the anacid stuff cause i was feeling pretty good, but i may need it now...this forum is great....lots of great info and advice!!! Thanx again everyone!!!!

I had my surgery on March 18 and my stomach growled plenty. I did and still do get hungry but not as bad as before surgery. I think it gets easier and more easy to manage with a couple months away from surgery when you are adjusted to the new you. It can take a bit of time so don't panic. I still have hunger but when I eat, I fill up fast and with a really small amount of food.
