The stomach gurgling is normal, You just has your insides re-arranged. Your guts are bound to rebel for a while. My stomach still makes lots of noise and I'm almost 5 years out. Don't mistake the rumbling for hunger, it's NOT.
Loose bowels are also normal early out from surgery. Liquid in, liquid out. You are not eating anything solid. There will come a time when you are complaining of constipation. Sleeping and rest are important to healing, but you should be moving around and walking laps around your house frequently. This helps get rid of the gas and prevents blood clots.
