I just had my surgery on the 28th and I was wondering if anybody experienced gurgling and gas pains when drinking liquids? Is it normal?

Walk walk walk. It really helped me. I couldn't walk much the first 2 days, but day 3 they said go to the gym. Well I dusted off my elliptical and that definilty eased the pains.

I would do 5-15 minutes each time a few times per day.

Plus I am freaked out by the risk of blood clots. 😱

I had such horrible gas pain, I couldn't even sit down! I would aimlessly walk around my living room at all hours of the night literally in tears praying it would go away. I know everywhere I looked all I saw was people saying "walk, just walk! gotta walk!" and it annoyed me so bad because I was walking but I was still in so much pain, but sadly they were right. I tried gas-x strips and chewable Mylanta but they didn't work. I literally walked nonstop and then one day everything just "relieved" itself. Although I will say, once you can have greek yogurt, that helped my stomach gas a lot surprisingly!

Had surgery a day after you and I'm going through the same thing. When I drink I kind of have a bit of heartburn feeling.

I was 3/21 and had that for about a week. I'm 10 days out now and it's mostly gone ( only a couple times a day now, if that). It gets better! I found that taking gas x and then walking while drinking helped a lot.

I had mine the 28th as well. Managing gas pain by walking for 15-20 minutes every time I eat. Barely getting in 40 g of Protein.

I had my surgery the same day, and have now realized that when I feel the pain and hear the gurguling it means I am drinking too fast. I drank my Protein Shake too fast this morning, and really paid for it afterward!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
