Just got sleeved on Wednesday, my tummy is making lots of gurgles. I'm trying to get my fluids in and eat some Jello but its not going away... Any suggestions?

You don't want it to go away. It is your body making an effort to rid itself of all the gas they put into your abdomen. Eventually it will make its way down and out. I was sleeved on Tuesday and although it doesn't hurt, it sounds like a thunderstorm is taking place in my gut.

t got the same thing for about a week. it goes waway evetually. it will be hard to get those liquids down at first for some, but just give it a few days and you will be on your way.

My tummy was very noisy for the first month or so. But, it also may be acid. Talk to your doctor about taking an acid reducer every morning before you eat - it really helps!

The hunger pain feeling and sounds in my new stomach were acid related. Once I started taking my pepcid it stopped. Now if you are having sounds in your intestines that is probably gas. That is good...keep it moving.

It is all of the gas making it's way out. Eventually you will get terrible gas and the screaming me-me's and it will all go away!!

My noisy tummy lasted about 3 weeks. I had HORRIBLE gas pains for 3 days HORRIBLE gas for about a week and diahreah about a week.

Hang in there for a good time!! LOL

I bet it's gas, too - as long as it's trying to get out of your body, you're in good shape! My tummy also gurgles whenever I get close to "full" - that might be just some liquids for you right now, since your stomach is still swollen and healing!

at 8 months my sleeve still talks to me all time. I asked the doc about it and he said it is a forever thing. Good news it it talks less. and softer over time. Think of it a audible indicator of your new tiny tummy that will serve you well!:rolleyes:

      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.
