The rumbling is after I swallow drinks or my sugar free pop

If you're drinking sugar-free soda (pop) the rumbling is probably excess gas. My surgeon and nutritionists said no carbonation or caffeine for quite some time due to the healing process.

:unsure:Hey all ! I was just sleeved on Wed 8/10/11. I had the lap band removed and the sleeve done at the same time. Surgery wasn't the greatest. although the doc say's i did a great job.. i had ALOT of nausea. If i was awake i had nausea.eww My blood Pressure shot up high high.. and heart rate lowlow.. but all is stable and i'm home ! i'm trying to back off of pain pills because they do tend to make me sick to my stomach although knock on wood i have not vomited. I did come home with a drain which Doc said he will be removing on thursday when i have my one week follow up...I'm having a really hard time getting liquids in. What i've been doing because i figured i need some kind of Protein is drinking the carnation sugar free instant Breakfast. It's taking me almost an enitre day to get in 8 -16oz but i'm taking a sip here and sip there. It feels like 2 sips is all i can take before i feel so full i can't stomach it ! i'm constantly napping.. Please tell me this will get better soon !

I was sleeved last Monday too and I was still feeling blah and layed around all day today in my pjs sleeping some of the time. My husband told me not to go to work tomorrow. It was supposed to be my first day back, but I just don't feel like I can. Maybe Tuesday will be better. I'm looking forward to being back to normal too...

Hello I'm Jamee from Texas and I was sleeved on Tuesday . I don't think this is normal but I'm STARVING. When I try and drink my liquids my tummy grumbles and hurts. Is it horrible that I'm looking forward to eating soft solids?

Jamee, Is it stomach hunger? What were your first couple of days like?

Is anyone taking Vitamins? My doctor suggested I go to bariatricadvantage.com where they have assembled nutrition kits to his specifications for first 30 days of post-op. I noticed the same brand in my local independent pharmacy. Has anyone tried these drinks?

DallasMom, you definitely need to be taking Vitamins. There's another thread in this forum that talks about what different people take - but basically you'll need a Multivitamin (some docs recommend more than 1 a day) and Calcium supplement daily, and B12 once weekly. My doc also wants me to take B1 once weekly. If your multivitamin doesn't have Iron then I'm to take an iron supplement as well.

I'll be purchasing all of the Vitamins next week. Thanks for the input. I'll ask about B1.

How is your recovery going? It looks like you just recently had surgery.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
