Not sure, but if you are worried, call your surgeon's office. I had a slip; it was not like that, but then, I guess that this could be a slip, too! Best wishes. Karen

Dont know bout bout loose bowels but gurgling is due to the flem- I usually have it the mornings, some times I can eat some times I cannot- MY GP said it was my sinus drainage and it takes forever to break up. Hot tea or liquids help- still ask your DR.

Slips are usually found by your surgeon during a flouroscope. I had trouble keeping anything down, including Water. But, a slip can happen anytime, and you might not even know. best wishes, see your surgeon for further advise about the phlem It can be, also, from the digestion activity. Best wishes. Karen

I have had gurgling as well. I figured it was a bug or something. It feels weird. I took some of the anti nausea pills I had left over from surgery and it helped. If it continues, it sure what to do. I am going to bring up with doctor next appt.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
