Had the sleeve done yesterday and was released from the hospital today...the surgeon who did it was not there to release me rather some assistants of his did. But my belly is making gargling noises...is this normal?

Yep, I am 11 weeks out...I still have some burps, strange noises when I eat or drink...and especially so, if I forget and eat/drink too quickly or eat/drink at the same time.

It is your new normal...

Best of luck to you!

Yes, it's normal. Get used to it. Lol. My students named my stomach chewie (short for chewbaca). It does get better. My stomach really doesn't make any noises now, but I do still have random sounding burps every now and then. My dh says they sound like Godzilla. :)

I'm nine months out and it still happens. I call it whale singing. Usually it happens if I eat the "wrong" food (carbs) but sometimes it's caused by drinking too much at once.

Yep. 15 weeks out and I am sitting here listening to my "whale song" now. Gurgles, burps, stuttering plops, whining screeches....I have stopped noticing most of it at this point.

This made me laugh! I was just telling my husband last night that it sounded like I swallowed a whale. It feels like Dory is striking up a conversation in the evenings!

      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.
