ok my stomach has been making LOUD sounds..kinda embaressing..lol

im not hungry so i dont know if its my stomach growling or what?

what could this be??

Your stomach is growling even if you aren't hungry. Strange I know.

I can go about 3 hours and then my stomach growls up a storm. I am actually thinking that it is because I am hungry. Now, I say, what is hunger? Never experienced it before. Not the same thing as HEAD hunger (appetite). I think it growls when it is empty and it's ready for some food. I THINK that is the way a normal stomach is. Then when I feed it, the growling goes away and I feel better. So it must be "hunger" in the strictest sense of the word. That is a word as foreign to many of us as "full" is.

Are you recently banded? My tummy made lots of rumblies right after being banded. Like it was growling but I knew I wasn't hungry. I chalked it up to "adjusting".

Also, did you recently take a drink of liquid? It will gurgle a lot in the beginning too.

If you were just banded... gas.

If you were just filled... restriction.

If none of the above, either air in your intestines or hunger. But hunger and air in your intestines does not mean the same thing.

thanks everyone... i will take everyones answers and conclude them in one.. i am recently banded and it does make bunches of noises soo... i dont know if it dont go away in a couple weeks then i know it might be hunger

Nonono... we "FEEL" hunger, we "hear" stomach noises. They are not the same.

For the vast majority of bandsters, those noises decrease dramatically over time. I still get them sometimes, but very rarely -- like less than once a month. In the beginning I remember being embarassed about them too. If you just say to people, as if it's funny, "geeze, I don't know WHAT is up with my stomach today" they usually laugh and don't focus on it any further. That's what worked for me, and it's a fairly short-lived problem, I promise!

wow julie i just want to congratulate you on the weight loss.. you look so good..how did you do it so fast!!

i wanna be just like you

my stomach makes those noises when my pouch is full and things are trying to trickle thru... i sound like "chewy" from star wars and it is embarrassing but my co-workers, family and friends are used to it by now... the worst part is if i am on the phone with customer and i make a chewy sound - i pretend it didnt happen!! lol
