Does anyone else get excessive gurgling sounds after eating?



Recommended Posts

One of my local sleeve friends said it was because I was hungry. I don't think so. It is after I eat. Am I still eating too fast? Am I eating too gaseous foods?

Any other explanations for it?

oh yes!

in the beginning, it is very common and very loud. after several months, i find mine really gets loud if i eat Soup or Cereal - something that has a liquid component to it. its like the liquid and solid are fighting each other to see which will be digested first.

totally normal.

[Don, i was sleeved on 9.27.11, and YES...my stomach gurgles also after I eat food. I had some white fish meat yesterday and OH my, I was happy I was alone in my office. I figure it is just the stomach doing its thing, as it does not last very long. I disagree with the "being hungry" part JMO Be interesting to see what others have to say

I'm 9 months out and still have a rather loud stomach at times. Haven't been able to pin it down to any particular food though. It was much worse the first couple of months following surgery. Small price to pay!:D

Pretty normal early on, haven't had it after two months. In part it is just stomach acid churning not it being empty. If you stomach hurts you should talk to doctor. Take your antacids it may help

I am almost 17 months out and my tummy still gurgles. I've accepted it as normal. It doesn't happen all the time and is almost exclusively at my evening meal. It is NOT because I'm hungry, it is always after I eat. I don't think my tummy EVER growls any more, not since surgery!!! I think it may be because I eat a little too much at dinner time.

I'm 4.5 months out and I still gurgle like crazy. It feels like it's happening in my throat. It happens only after I eat and it seems worse with certain foods, although I haven't pinned it down exactly. I was just thinking that I should come up with some way to track it because it's majorly embarrassing.

      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!
