"Growling" when I eat

OK I'm starting to get a little self-conscious after this problem...

When I start to eat (even after the first bite) my throat starts to make a growling noise.  I would rather burp but sometimes a burp just doesn't come up. 

Is there anything that I can take like Gas X that may help or is this just something I need to get used to?  I try to eat at my desk with the radio on to muffle the sound but I think it's louder than that.

Can anyone recommend anything?  I should mention that I'm 5 weeks out

I had/have the exact same issue, especially in the first few months after surgery. I don't get it as often now (five months out) but it does still happen on occasion. I think it's just something we have to get used to unfortunately! If it makes you feel any better, unless I was sitting directly next to someone in a very quiet room no one seemed to be able to hear it :) It sounded like a bear growling to me, but didn't seem that loud to anyone else! I think it's just our stomachs working on digesting food. 

Our new stomachs are very musical. My stomach sometimes growls or gurgles or just plan weird noises. Don't get me started on the other end. Some of the noises will stop and some may sometimes come back.

I'm just over 6 weeks out and my sleeve is definitely 'vocal' when I eat! I usually get a few bites in, but then I start hearing noises. It feels like it's in my throat, but I think it's coming from my stomach. I don't know if it's air or digestion noises. It sounds REALLY loud to me. I've no idea how loud it sounds to other people though!

Yesterday for lunch, I had homemade turkey soup. I was talking to a coworker for a bit as he stopped by my office. I was near the end of my meal. And I was super embarrassed by the sounds that my tummy was making!  I don't know if Gas-X strips will help but if anyone has ideas, I'd love to hear!

Exactly, it feels like it's in my throat!!  I think I can handle this more than if the gas travels to my southern end :) I know my husband can hear it when we have dinner ... he says ut sounds like the alien in the movie Predator.  so supportive!!
