stomach rumbles

I decided to post this after reading Julie's "I'm weak" post. I had a DS on June 16th, and since that date, I never seem to get that stomach rumbles associated with being hungry. I can tell that I need to eat, but it really isn't uncomfortable. Do most of you, both RNY and DS have similar stomach feelings, or is this more segregated from the two surgeries.... or am I just a freak of nature kevin yeah, its the horse I rode in on!!!!

!freak! -- sincerely, JUST JOKING! I'm sure there are many out there that do and do not get the tummy's rumblings. I do, but ONLY when I am waaay past due of a meal, I try very hard to stay on schedule, but somedays get away from me. So for the most part, NO my tummy doesn't rumble, because I feed it on time, and 4-5 times a day. Even at 9 months out now (RNY), I still don't have any real hungry issues. Cravings? Yep... but they stay in control if I got lotsa protein in. hugs,

Kevin, I had my surgery on 6/1 (RNY) and do not feel hunger at all! I know when I need to eat because I get very grouchy! But as Vickie said I try to eat at certain times of the day to prevent that! I eat 2 meals a day and have a protein mix for breakfast. I do not eat between meals. I keep extremely busy! Sue

Kevin... I seem to do what Vickie does I eat at certain times of the day everyday. I drink my water..eat my protein. I never feel hungry or get those hunger pains like it did pre-op. I do however hear my stomach gurgle when I have eaten something new and my stomach is trying to decide how to digest it. It rumbles and I look around to see if others hear it...lol By the way ... I like the new pic... Hugs, Julie

Hi Kevin, This is an interesting post. To me, hunger is completly different since my rny this past May. I do not have any rumbelings anymore and hardly any cravings. I just get sort of an empty feeling when I need to either eat or drink. Then I just have to remember what is due next. Right now I think I better go eat a little something. Julie

I wonder if we don't get the rumbles cuz they removed the part of our stomach that is resp for making the enzyme that causes hunger? Hmm Tonya
