I had surgery on April the 4th and have yet to have my stomach growl. Are you getting in enough fluids?

Gas!! you was pumped full of gas for the op and you are still carrying it, a lot of people come out of hospital heavier than they go in. The hunger could be gas retention too. Don't worry it will work its way out (up or down!). The mantra is to sip sip sip (your liquid) and walk walk walk to move the gas.

I had my surgery 3rd April and the gas is still moving

I had my surgery April 2 and I still hear all kinds of crazy sounds going on inside my belly =)

Hello... I am getting ready for surgery ...next month. How did you feel the day after. Can I take care of myself alone.? How bad is your stomach looking.? I wish you the best. Hoping to hear back. Buffy

Buffy I stayed in the hospital for two days but since I've been home I've been able to take care of myself. My stomach has very little bruising and is healing up great. Everyone is different but I feel good but still very tired. Yesterday was my first day back to work and needless to say I slept good let night. 

Our bellies are still pissed off because we separated them with their larger half !! Mine makes a lot of noise too I am two weeks out! I thought I was hungry too but it is gas and gurgling and all kinds of good stuff your belly is now trying to process. We are good just keep on truckin'. I too am still tired ...hang in there !!!

I had mine April 3rd and feeling/hearing some strange noises. Also, I about died when I weighed upon leaving hospital and was 9 lbs up. 8 lbs was gone within 24 hours and now 13 gone so definately fluid retention can be an issue...

It was hard at first painful but i had a hernia repair also. The nurses are a lot of help. You will be up walking the day of. Stomach was real sore but 7days now and i am feeling great. Stomach has 5 incisions should heal good. Do not be afraid to ask for pain meds. i have husband to help me but if i did not have him yes i believe i could take care of myself:-):-)

I was sleeved on Monday! Lots and lots of gurgling goin on. Try your very best to just keep drinking. I also noticed my pee was really dark, like orange. Sign of not drinking enough. I've been drinking all day! Pee looks a little better now. LOL. Good luck. Sip sip sip...walk walk walk!

I am one year out and my stomach still gurgles all the time. That's just the way it is. If anyone takes offense, they will just have to stay away from me. I wouldn't trade my sleeve for anything...Kathe

I don't get hungry, but my stomach grumbles like no one's business. I've also retained a "gurgle" that I had with my lapband as well. Stomach makes crazy noises when I eat something semi solid, but doesn't make too many growly noises for liquids anymore. It used to. DH claims my stomach noises woke him up a few nights ago. It gets really, really loud sometimes.

Of course, I was sleeved April 1 and I am growling quite often, but mostly while processing what I have drunk. It's normal. It's not like stomach growling when hungry.
