Mel24 51 Posted April 29, 2015 I was released this afternoon from the hospital. I hated their Protein Shakes, way too sweet, so drank milk. Now that I am home, I am noticing a ton of loud gurgling noises coming from my new stomach. I want to finish half of my shake, but these noises are freaking me out. Help? Advice? Should I just do broth for a couple days and slowly add the shakes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wannaBthinsoon 1,634 Posted April 29, 2015 They are now our new normal. We gurgle. It's ok. we are going to gurgle no matter what, so I learned to ignore my little gurgler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mel24 51 Posted April 29, 2015 Ok, it makes me nervous to eat Protein. I figured, I would stay with broth and light liquids for a couple days, then add the shakes by the weekend. Does gas x help the bubbles?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shanea 8 Posted April 29, 2015 The gurgle is annoying, but normal. As a matter of fact, the gurgling was so loud when I went to bed tonight that my husband was freaking out about the noise. My kids think that it is hilarious, especially when it is quiet and my gurgler goes off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
able2cope 193 Posted April 29, 2015 I'm over 2.5 years out - and I still gurgle... its something you will get used to. - Also my throat makes noises - not so much a burp - but more a burp inside my throat - thats 'normal' too - well it is for me. Congrats on getting the surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wannaBthinsoon 1,634 Posted April 29, 2015 @ I have the throat gurgling thing too. Good to know it not unusual. I didn't figure it was too weird, since I've been doing really great since my surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LSF 264 Posted April 29, 2015 I'm almost 3 months out and I have loud gurgles for about 15 minutes after every meal and then it stops Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogofulm 2,440 Posted April 29, 2015 My gurgling mostly stopped several weeks after surgery once the swelling had gone down. Now it's only occasional. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tlemieux220 138 Posted April 29, 2015 I have the gurgling too especially after I eat and that also is away for me to know I am full. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
