VSG 6/15/11 hard time getting in liquids

When will the gurgling bubbly sensation below my breastbone go away every time I take a little sip? I am only on track for about 32 ounces today because if I take bigger sips I wretch :( Please tell me it gets better, soon!

I had my surgery yesterday and I get the gurgling with every sip too. My doc told me if I am drinking 32 by next wednesday I will be doing great. That being said, you are doing great and I wouldn't push it.

Yeah, the noises that come with this in the beginning are a little disconcerting to say the least LOL. I didn't get all my liquids in until almost 2 weeks out, so it does get better. ;)

I was sleeved on the 16th and have noticed it too. Usually I get a nauseated sensation, then it feels very tight and strange, then a huge gurgle and the nausea passes. So weird.

I was sleeved on the 15th too. I am able to tolerate liquids pretty well. Hope it gets betters soon for you guys. I haven't pooped since I've been out of the hospital and that has me worried.

I'm on my 12th day since surgery. I am drinking just over 32 oz at this point. It is hard to get it down, I feel a big lump in my throat and then hopefully I burp! Sipping throughout the day is going to have to become a new habit for me.

I promise you, in time you take as big of sips as you want, with out gurgles. Just dues we pay. Now giggle

at silly noises and repeat after me>>....... And this too shall pass, and I will be healthy!

THE LUMP IS KILLING ME! But I just read it is ACID REFLUX. It could be other things, but I am guess this is what it is since alot of people have it. Burps don't even really make it go away it is swelling. I guess that is one of the reasons why people are on Prilosec or Prevacid.

That first liquidy poop is the BEST! It will come! Mine was 4 days after so anytime now!

Yes, I went and bought some Prilosec yesterday and feel much better today.

That tightness you all are feeling is the swelling of the stomach. Your esophogus is trying to push the water/liguid down into your stomach and when there's too much liquid the esophogus begins to contract (or squeeze) until it gets all the liquid down. This is normal but it is painful. I unfortunately had this pain for weeks after surgery cuz I was a slow healer. It wasnt until just recently that I've been able to gulp again and not feel this pain. My advice to all of you is to take smaller sips more often rather than trying to get a lot of liquid in at one time.
