Sleevenit 2 Posted December 25, 2013 Hello Everyone - I am two days away from being six weeks post up,(vertical sleeve) and things have gone really well so far! The weight is coming off at a normal pace and the incorporation of exercise feels great! Total life style change which takes some getting used too for sure. Especially breaking some of our old eating habits! I am having one issue however that I'm having trouble getting clarity on and I'm looking for some community feedback! My stomach is constantly busy! What I mean buy this is that it's always grumbling, growling and moaning... especially when I'm eating or drinking it's at it's worst! Also, my stomach has a mild to moderate sour feeling,(almost like a mild upset stomach) fairly regularly! In fact, the only time my stomach truly feels completely normal is when I wake up in the morning after sleeping for 6 -8 hours! However, once I begin to eat my morning Breakfast the growling and mild discomfort creeps back into play and kind of stays with me most of the day! It's seems as if the more and/or faster I eat the worst the growling and grumbling becomes! This has obviously lead me to believe that I'm eating too much too fast and I've been really concentrating on taking smaller bites, chewing better and most importantly waiting two to three minutes between bites! All this definitely has helped some but the mild sour, nausea feeling is still slightly present more than I'd like it to be! Has anyone else experienced this? Is this somewhat normal the first several weeks post up? any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted December 25, 2013 The only thing I still experience at 16 months out is a noisy stomach. While eating, after when digesting and sometimes laying down. I think we need to treat our tummies with care as they are tiny now and well more delicate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChunkyMonkey 13 Posted December 25, 2013 I have the same thing. Very curious whether other people also experience these symptoms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kymomofmany 3 Posted December 26, 2013 Did your Dr put you on anything to help with the stomach acid post-surgery? Mine put me on something for that (it's generic so I don't know what it's called). Just wondering, because if not, maybe something like that may help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Georgia 2,908 Posted December 27, 2013 3 1/2 years out and my stomach stills makes constant noise. At times, embarrassing. Um, like when getting a massage and the massage therapist says, "oh, wow! You must be really hungry!" Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
