Day 3 Post Op. Everything " Runs" Thru Me. Literally

[WLJourneyJ 89]

I got first meal tonight. I'm not ure if I ate too fast but it was not good. It tasted great but tummy gurgles and gas was painful and 5 min later and I barely made it to the restroom. Does it get better?

Yes it does. Your body has to relearn how to eat, digest and tolerate food all over again. Try to take it really slow, if that still doesn't work try to go back on liquids.< /p>

It sounds like you ate something that didn't agree with you. I had that happen the 2nd day I was on pureed. Now, I'm 5 weeks out, still on pureed because my Dr requires 6 weeks of it, and I had a great dinner tonight with a cup of egg flower Soup, some ma po tofu (eating only the tofu) and a bite or two of egg foo yung. Don't worry it will get better and next thing you know you will be complaining about the Constipation that seems to happen to most of us!

liquid in, liquid out.

It gets better.

Could also be lactose but it's more likely the liquid diet. It definitely gets better, or none of us would ever recommend the sleeve to anyone!

Congrats on your new sleeve. Once you're done with recovery you'll feel a million times better and adjust quickly to your new normal.

I had the same thing too. I was just glad it was that and not Constipation. It will get better.

It's possible that it wasn't a matter of the broth agreeing you... My body reacted that way to absolutely everything I consumed for the first couple of Weeks. For me, I think it was definitely a matter of "liquid in, liquid out." It got better the more solid food I could eat.

Gurgling may never go away. I gurgled all 6 years with my band, and so far still gurgle all 3.5 mos of my sleeve, especially when I eat something very dense like Jerky. I also hiccup a lot when I eat (not a soft stop, it comes after I stop eating).

Painful - could be a lot of things at this point. Eating too fast, or too much, or too much at once, etc. will all cause pain. Though for me, they're different pains.

Something running through you in 5 mins is not typical. Gas might be. Your stomach "prepares" to start working before food hits it, and there are some things in that preparation that could cause gas. Diarrhea would be typical (as said above, liquid inand liquid out - our bodies are not good at taking a Fluid and turning it into a solid).
