I am 6 days post op. I've only lost 12 #'s. I am sore so I limit my walks to 10 mins 3 times a day. Also I noticed a weird feeling in my gut after I eat and especially after I drink. It is like a gurgling/ squeezing feeling and I can hear it also. Has anyone else felt this?

First- 12 lbs at 6 days post op is phenomenal in my opinion. I am 2.5 weeks post op and down 12 lbs since surgery.

Second- my stomach gurgles a lot too, mostly while and after eating. Sometimes with drinking too. I think it's pretty normal.

6 days post op? And only 12 pounds??

Gee I don't know' date=' I would call the doctor.

That just doesn't sound right.[/quote']

Hmmm, I average 1 to 3 pounds a week BUT for the first two weeks I gained.

Remember all the IV fluids? They packed Water in you.

And I am down overall 100 pounds. Slow and steady wins the race. I spend my time learning about food and me.

Obviously my comedic timing sucks when it comes to the written word.... It was a joke.

I assumed you were joking. Just wanted to make sure the OP really didn't mean "only 12lbs." Cuz that's is a lot in 6 days even with surgery.

Thanks everyone for your replys to my question. I guess I was just being a little paranoid thinking the the weird noise is a leak. I go to my first follow up on Friday and will ask the Dr about it.

Weird noises? Well I'm several months out and my sleeve still makes weird noises!

It was so loud last night the dog got freaked out!

I am over a year out and have woke up at night and think I hear people talking and then I figure out it is my stomach.

Good grief!!! Mine gurgles but not like that! It usually only does it if I eat too fast, or if it's a really acidic food.< /p>

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
