Old stomach still growling and gurgling



Recommended Posts

This is the start of my 4th week post surgery. So far, so good in most cases. I've had some ups and some downs. One thing that has bothered me and can't figure out is "why is my OLD stomach growling and gurgling so much?" It's not a problem that I need to seek medical care for, but it defiantly is annoying. Anyone else have this and find a cure or does it eventually go away?

I think you mean your "new" much smaller stomach. Yes it will make gurgling, digesting sounds. Nothing to be alarmed about. It may not go away. I know with my sleeve it was always making noises, especially noticeable in a quite room.

mine does the gurgling noises for about 20 minutes or so after I eat. LOL I just fancy it as my stomach saying 'thank-you" and move on. :)

My pouch gurgles a lot too after I eat or especially if I am drinking a lot of Water after working out.

@@retzlpa, I too have that same problem. I don't know how to get rid it either. I had my surgery 6 days ago, and you can definitely hear my stomach and all its gurgling if you are any where near me. I just take the generic for Prilosec and if if don't stop, I use Tums but neither really help.

My stomach makes really weird noises now. Sometimes I just stop eating when it starts making them and then it goes away. Sometimes it is a sign I need to eat. It just depends.

I think he actualy meant what he said his old stomach is Groaning. The reason I say this is becuase my Old stomach did also for about a week and a half after surgery . It was 2 distinct growls from 2 different areas one from my pouch and one from my old stomach. It was rather strange but it did stop. My surgeon told me it was nothing to worry about.

That's when mine does it the most is after drinking . I wonder how I can control that. That's the reason I can't get all my fluids down.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
