The gurgle

[Stjohn17 1]

I have a gurgle, and somewhat of a croaking sound at night, (starting yesterday) I got a fill yesterday, left with no problems, none at all. Drank some Soup, drank some coffee when I got home, very little, holy wow I can feel the restriction. 4 bites of soup and I'm totally satisfied. Strange thing is I do not feel like I need to vomit, this is not a slimiing situation as I've felt that in the past but my mouth just waters more, significantly more??? And had some of the gurgles but I've read that's ok, I also sounded somewhat like a toad while lying in bed last night, although no choking or trouble breathing or any of that stuff. I don't feel the need to be sick, nothing feels stuck. Could this be because they checked my Fluid taking it all out and then putting it back in and I'm just sensitive. I'm hoping we have finally found my sweet spot! Is this normal when you find good restriction????

That gurgling stinks! It's socially awkward- just talking with someone in person or on the phone, and suddenly, deep body gurgle sounds (gas) piping its' way loudly up your throat & out your mouth.

In a way, it mirrors poor upbringing- bad manners- like your parents didn't teach you to control your unpleasant body sounds, unlike tummy rumbles (hunger) which are uncontrollable.

I remember I dated a guy a long time ago and he had that gurgling when he talked (DEF. not a wls patient). It was one of the reasons I couldn't bear being with him any longer, esp. in public.

Now I do it, and for me, it's embarrassing. I wish it would stop or I could learn how to control it without the gurgles popping out unexpectedly at the most inappropriate times.

I have had the gurgle from day one. I have basically just gotten used to it. Sometimes it does happen and cause a little embarrassment, but I figured it was just apart of it. I even started taking pro-biotics but it still doesn't seem to help. So, I accepted it for what it is.
