MooseheadsII although i have had a few short times when on full fluids, I have not gone through my surgery yet to know exactly how you feel. With my gut (intestines) fully outside my abdominal wall..the sounds are more pronounced than normal.... i'm sure when i get to my post op stage..you will hear me for miles lol. Now that I am drinking 8-12 cups of water a day...the sounds in my intestines is unreal... the water going through gurgles n roars. Everyone around me thinks i'm hungry but i have grown to ignore the sounds.

I've been reading the book mindful eating by Brian Wansink. I'm not finished yet but so far it amazes me the studies he has done...and it surely makes me question how our minds play a big big part in hunger and being filled.

MooseheadsII I hope that time will pass quickly for you until the time you will be on soft foods...keep busy so the growling and your hunger doesn't drive you nuts....just think when you reach the soft food stage.. all of this will be worth it

Ang that post is an interesting one, it sure does explain how the new sleeve works.
