Hi all, thanks for the help and information. The liquids have been much more easier to get in today. The rumbles and gurgles are still consistent. How long does this last for? When can I expect it to subside?

Hey guys! Sleeved June 19, surgery went well. In and out of the hospital in 2 days. 4 days PO and all I've been dealing with is the rumbling/gurgles of my stomach. Is this normal? It's typically all of the time, but especially after I drink something. I have definitely been struggling to get all the fluids in, but it has been getting better each day. My surgeon has me on Clear liquids 5 days PO and then on to full liquids. Can anyone suggest what they drank/ate at this phase? I can tolerate SF Jello and Popsicles and that's about it, I would like to try some broths but anything that I even smell turns my stomach. Also (sorry for all the questions) I know we are supposed to avoid citric fruits PO, however I am finding that a lot of the G2 drinks and Popsicles have citric acid in them, is it alright to still be eating/drinking them? And finally as far as BMs sorry I know tmi, but all mine have been completely liquid and at least 3-5 times a day, again normal or should I be worried? This journey is far from the easy way out and I wish the people who thought that could go through a day or two of what it actually feels like. But I know that this is the best decision I've made my entire life and I'm so excited to see how much I'll lose and how healthy I can get! Thanks for all your infor. And help! Shelby
