I still get a lot of gurgling, especially if I eat too fast or drink with a straw because it allows a lot of air to get in there. I never did the puree stage. I did 2-3 weeks liquids, then soft foods, then regular foods. I skipped pureed because I don't care for that texture. I turned out just fine. ?

Hello. I am doing better today. My doctor’s office did not prescribe me something for the nausea and the famotidine is a pill not in liquid form. I thank you all for the encouragement and helping me through my anxiety.

Welcome & congratulations. People seem to experience diarrhoea or constipation after surgery. It could be the lactose in your protein shakes or it could just be your post surgical experience. I was advised to have Imodium & a laxative/stool softener on hand post surgery. I had a shocking diarrhoea attack in hospital than it was constipation city.
If it persists & doesn’t seem to be reducing give your surgeon a call. Also if you can look for a lactose free plant based protein shake just in case it is the lactose.
All the best.

Welcome to our bariatric community. Congratulations on having your VSG and good luck on your WLS journey.

Are you using protein shakes? If so, you may have a temporary dairy/lactose intolerance. Perhaps try using non dairy protein shakes and see how you go.
