Is it common for your Stomach "Noises" to wake you up at night...???

I was at work the other day and the gal sitting at the next computer turned and said "wow, you'd better eat something you sound starved"!

its really weird? I dont' remember being this noisy before surgery?

Not that its a huge problem, I am still happy for the restriction and weight loss.

:rain:

I was told that the rumbling noises are not from hunger. It is coming from the bowel.I always thought it was because i was hungry.

Your W/L is amazing!!! What are you eating on a daily basis... I am so impressed

Thanks peaches9.It varies.I try to eat healthy. Chicken veggies, fruit. etc.I slip now and then. I swore i would not diet again when i got this band because for 35 years i have been dieting and i am sick of it. So i just eat a little bit of whatever.I am not planning on getting down to 130 lbs just enough (150)so i am not obese. Right now i am running on empty so it will be harder for me to lose . It is strictly WILLPOWER now. It is hard.

Perhaps now is the time to increase the protein and add some "danger" foods. I gradually added all kinds of foods but I still eat in small portions, eat slowly and I feel so much better. Will power is not a factor since I have what I want just not as much or as often as I use to since I plan on NEVER being obese again. You're doing great!

Yes Peaches,

I have had a noisey stomach and increased burping. Sue at the clinic said that it is common. Good luck with the rumblings!!

I too have gas and rumbling. Think it is from the carbs that produce gas. I find the gas particularly embarrassing when I am out. I find that if I pretend nothing has occurrec and stare at the poor joe beside me, I can avoid comments! More oft than not though, I am polite and say excuse me and run like h... to the B/R. LOL

LOL, yes, I have experienced more gas (not fun) and rumblings... though I think the extra rumbling kind of funny! Ever notice that you can feel and sometimes hear the food dropping from your pouch into the bottom portion of your stomach... that makes me laugh too... simple things amuse me

Hi Lferlad. Yes, I can feel the food moving from the pouch to the stomach but can also "feel" the food when it sticks. Even then as I writher in pain, I smile because I know I have not chewed my food and the band is letting me have it. Like you I am amused by the finicky band and I am loving every moment as I watch the scales go down. Slowly but surely, my bad habits are improving so a bit of "fluffing", "burping" "gurgling" is soooooooooooooo worth it. I was also banded in February so I guess we are "solemates". Doddie
