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



Recommended Posts

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!!

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

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.< /p>

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
