Does your stomach still growl after RNY surgery?

Will my stomach feel hungry even though I am eating through my new "pouch?"

My stomach has never growled since my surgery. I am NEVER hungry!!!, I can tell when I need to eat because I get shakey, but no hunger pains, ever.

My surgery was 12 /10 and there has been no feelings of hunger. I have to schedule my two meals each day.

How different we all are. Every time I eat or drink my stomach growls. It never growls because I'm hungry.

I am 2 months out and I do get hungry and my tummy growls at times and I can feel that gnawing empty feeling you get when you are truly hungry. It's weird, I didn't think that would be the case, but I guess we all are different. But - that said, I don't have as much "head hunger" as I did before and I do get full a LOT faster, so it is much easier to eat far less.

LOL i have not experience my stomach growling but I do have to remind myself to eat and i am 7 months post opt, I am now on a schedule but when I first had my procedure I forgot t eat because yo are not hungry but now I got the hang of things now. Good luck and congrats.

I don't generally feel hungry unless I haven't eaten all day which I hardly ever do as I eat regularly. My stomach does make some funky loud growls sometimes though. Usually when or after I am eating. Embarrassing sometimes. But if that's the worst thing I can live with that.

I am 3 months out and never felt hungry until I started working out. Now I actually get hungry but my stomach does not growl for that reason.

My stomach actually makes noise, I would call it growling every time I put anything in to it. Sometimes it is loud enough for my husband to hear it. It is almost like it has a mind of its own.

The good news is when I am hungry it does not take much to fill be up. About 1/4 to a 1/2 cup of food and I am full again.

Like @ mentioned, my stomach rarely if ever growls due to hunger. It usually growls sometimes after I eat or drink. I love that though because prior to surgery I would eat every time my stomach growled and that was quite often.
