Does Your GI System Feel Different?

[QuilterGal 216]

I understand that there are a lot of changes that come with bypass surgery, but one thing I've been wondering about is: does your GI system feel different? Now that everything has been rerouted, do you physically feel differently as the food is moving through your body? I know my body pretty well and how food moves through it. I just wonder if anyone was surprised by overall changes in their digestive system now that the stomach has been detached.

I feel it most days. I'm 16 days post op. So as I eat and experiment with different mushy foods I do hear and feel something in my stomach as it digests. It doesn't hurt but it feels weird. Sometimes I get bloated and feel it even more. It's quite a strange sensation.

I haven't been surprised as I had read about all the noises and movements. For the most part it is kind of funny. I am only 2 weeks out but it already seems normal.

I am 8weeks post op RNY. I am having to learn a whole new normal since everything is different. From the noise to the final outcome is not the same, not bad, just different.
