This is my first day post op why is my stomach rumbling for food . Hoping my hunger pains went after surgery. Pre op diet I was always hungry. Any advice will help .

Welcome to the losers bench!

Just make sure that you follow your providers post op diet sheets, and if you are hungry don't have too much to stretch your pouch. Plenty of water or if you don't like water NAS squash.

Welcome to the second day of the rest of your life!

I'm on liquids only for 2 weeks lol lots of burping. Not had any wind pain. No pain at all. Just rumbling tummy. I'm drinking plenty of water and 2 shakes per day and liquid soups. Maybe tummy getting used to having a rope around its neck lol .

You will actually find that the tummy is likely to rumble a lot even if you're not hungry - the noises coming from the part of your stomach below the band but when you get onto food you will find that the top part of your stomach will manage a little food and if you eat slowly (it takes 20 mins for the brain to register the stomach is full - hence why they say to eat a mouthful, chew for a while, wait for a while and stop eating after 20 mins).

Unfortunately, you may find that your stomach will rumble, that it will make noises, the band does not just take away hunger pains, I've had mine for almost 6 months and have yet to find restriction - feeling hungry is actually something that I feel quite a lot of the time and it is down to willpower and a lot of self control to stick within my calorie limits.

Hi, I'm new too, had a band fitted last Thursday (21st Feb) can't believe how my interest in food has altered (maybe this is temporary) but at the moment my life doesn't revolve around food for once.

Welcome!

It does change, even ongoing, and although it may still be a focus, that focus will be to make sure that you're eating to work with the band . . . .

Hi, thanks for that. I am eating, not very much but enough. I just meant my life isn't lived around food anymore, well, at the moment it isn't
