3 days post op, stomach gurling causing pain



Recommended Posts

Hello

I was discharged last night from hospital. My only Complaint is the gurgling going on in stomach (I think). Shortly after I drink I get what feels like air or gurgling. It's painful. It only lasts a few seconds and then relieves itself but it hurts. Does anyone know what this is or have any information for me? Am I drinking too much? I feel like I haven't been drinking at all.

My stomach did it too, it will get better and then not hurt as much. It's been 2 weeks for me and my stomach stills does it, it's like all the air is rising to the top and then released.

Yea that's what it feels like. Ok. Thank you. So I should continue to drink so I don't get dehydrated. I've been afraid to continue drinking.

Yes keep drinking slowly. Don't get dehydrated. That will be a whole other problem.

I experienced the same thing until about day 5, then it got much better. Good luck!

I'm on day 14 and still get the stomach gurgles depending on what I eat. I quickly found out that sugar-free Jello and sugar-free popsicles cause major gas pains almost immediately after the first bite. So you might want to pay attention to what you're eating and see which ones are causing the most gas.

I asked for a sugar free pop and they brought me some sugar free Water ice.....I highly recommend it for getting in fluids and get off your narcotic drugs and you will feel so much better! I an on day 3 and getting discharged and what a difference from yesterday! I threw up so much I thought I was going to die! Good luck!

Emersldeye- sugar free Water ice. What is that made of, do you know? Thanks for the suggestions and responses. You've really helped me calm down and not worry about that pain.

Getting off the narcotics helped, then getting past liquid phase and eating Greek yogurt and probiotic powder fixed it for me. I had that really bad for a couple weeks!

I am one week out from being sleeved and found benefit with using a small straw and taking in small amounts of Propel Water and warm Lipton Tea to provide me relief from that pain and stomach gurgling issue. good Luck!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
