Burps and Bubbles and Gurgles Oh My!



Recommended Posts

I am 6 days post opp and I want to know WHEN does the gas and bubbles and gurgles go away! I am still on the liquid diet and anytime I drink anything I feel all the gas. It is so uncomfortable! I can't take a swallow without that feeling and literally have people burping me like I'm a baby! When can I expect some relief? Gas X does nothing since it not gas from inside your stomach. Please help!

If you mean the gas pain, then it goes away after a week or two as your body heals and the swelling goes down.

The burping and gurgling might never go away. I'm 10 months out, and still have both, and I've read they might be permanent. But then I guess that's okay because in my case, the burping is my never fail signal to stop eating because I'm full. ;)

Well, it could have been worse, you could have had flying monkeys coming out of your a$$. :)

I, too, had gas pains in the beginning. I found that if I ate slower, it helped.

Still get the burps and gurgles at 7 weeks out. Kind of getting used to them. :)

I am 6 months out and still get the gurgles when I drink fluids. It gets less but im pretty sure we will all have them forever. Not a bad trade off though.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
