Digestion

[Jools64 3]

I'm six weeks post-op and I'm slowly transitioning out of soft food and introducing regular foods in my diet. My question is whenever I eat something solid (which I chew so much that I basically swallow liquid), my digestion gets really noisy. In a busy environment it goes unnoticed but let's say lunchroom at work, I've stopped conversations. I get really embarrassed but it's not like I can control it.

Has this happened to anybody else? Does it stop eventually?

My stomach is very noisy. Man the other day at the dentist it was carrying on the conversation with the hygienist when my mouth was opened. It's just part of your life now. I just laugh and it makes everyone else laugh.

I am 18 months post op and yup, every single day. My husband and I have named her the grouch pouch. She loves to make noise any time I feed her or give her any liquids.

It does seem to be noisier when they are milk products.

I don't think it will ever go away.....have fun with it!
