Does your stomach still growl after RNY surgery?



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
