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>

      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.
