[newgal]

have you had a bypass?

My stomach rumbles all the time, but not when I'm hungry. In fact I very rarely feel truly hungry anymore. I think its just something we have to learn live with unfortunately. x

I'm a bypasser and my tummy makes all kinds of noises. I get a bit hungry, but not starving, but I eat what I am supposed to eat, when I'm supposed to eat it and nothing more.

I'm sat reading this and my stomach is gurgling away audibly !! I wondered if its because we have lost the valve at the bottom of our stomach that controlled how the food and liquid was released through to our intestines, so now it passes through a lot quicker ?

does the gurgling feel the same as being hungry used to feel Jayne? x
