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

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. 

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...

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.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
