The Weird Noises My Stomach Makes When I Eat Or Drink

[calicakes 24]

I had my surgery on 11/19. Stayed in hospital for 2 days. I still cant get in all my fluids or Protein. Today, I downed 2oz of light yogurt and 2 oz of sugar free pudding. While it was going down, my stomach was making the most horrendous noises. Is that hunger pains? food looks good to me, but I am not hungry. The same thing happens when I drink. Then I start to burp right after drinking. This is so annoying.

I am taking a nexium each morning.

I also have NOT pooed since the Monday before surgery( 11/18)

The gurgling is normal. I have difficulty getting all my liquid and Protein in too. Went to Walmart yesterday and bought liquid whey Protein Shots. 3.8oz and has 42g of protein.

Pooing is a sad event...

Don't go too long or it gets really bad. Ask about taking something to gets things moving. That us far and away my least part so far...

I'm 6 months post op & my stomach still makes weird gurgling/growling noises when I'm eating sometimes. People around me can hear them - quite embarrassing; don't know what causes it. Don't think it is hunger pains but I don't know what it is - maybe someone else can enlighten me.

I also had the Constipation problem after surgery. I had to take a Fiber supplement and an occasional laxative per my dr's directive - things were very uncomfortable for a while. After about 3 months my diet improved where I was getting enough Fiber naturally to make all normal again thankfully.

I'm 11 months post op and I'm still gurgling. I don't know if it ever goes away.

Go to the drugstore NOW and get (and take) some Miralax and stool softeners. Fecal impaction is a real worry -- I know, it happened to me. And it wasn't pretty. That could be the reason you can't eat much and your stomach makes such noises.

At 6 months my stomach still makes noises. GasX strips can help. I also added Probiotics and that has helped.

Yep - still get the gurgling and the burp, for me, means time to stop - you are now full.

It's just the new normal, not a big deal really.

I am 13 months and I only have a BM about twice a week. I use a stool softener average once or twice a week. It has gotten better as I was taking Miralax 3 days out of 7 for quite a while, so it has improved but still definitely not as regular as I used to be.

Eventually things will get back to normal. It's common to have the "two cats fighting" noises coming from your gut for a while. Once you heal and your body gets used to the sleeve things will be pretty much like before.

gas x worked for the voices in y gut and i just can't even tell you how much better i feel using gas x /simethacone, cheap it is not digested by the body. i take it after meals and before bed. it is the best tip i got from this site, good luck, let us know how you are doing

I'm 1 month and 4 days out and my stomach has recently started doing this. It's not painful and it's always after I eat. I do believe its due to digestion. But it is a tad embarrassing when your stomach sounds like you ate Chewbacca.
