4.5 Months Out And Weird Gurgling When I Eat!

The strangest thing just started this week. When I eat- Protein, fruit/veggies...whatever...my stomach gurgles and little bubble (like mini belches) come up. It's not painful or uncomfortable...just really weird and out of the blue. I am not drinking with meals nor eating anything especially gassy. I wonder whether I am eating too fast (still have trouble with that) and taking in too much air. But, why would that start now? I see my surgeon in 2 weeks...if this persists I will call before.

Also, the constipation has come back. I was good for 3 months and POW! But, I am stressed and so busy at work. I drink all my fluids, but I tend to suck it down in clusters versus drinking constantly all day.

I'm only 4 weeks and I have that exact same issue.!

Did you have this in the beginning, it went away and now it's back??

I have it also had my sleeve June 6th I think I am swallowing too much air and drinking too fast I drink coffee all day long. If you find out anything let us all know good luck to all.

Yup- it went away and came back now. The NP said it was normal and nothing to worry about. Eat slow to avoid swallowing air.

Look up "gurgles" or "gurgling." Or even "nurps" (my own term). This comes up pretty frequently. It's very common. It may or may not go away. I had it the full 6 years I was banded, lost it when the band came out, and the day I was sleeved it came back. It's really nothing to worry about in and of itself. We just made strange noises. :)

We refer to my gurgles as my little aliens. My work colleagues are great and just giggle and support me.

My doc says that they will come and go. Something about air pockets.

But no harm.

My tummy still 'talks' when I eat, it's 'vocal' right now and I'm just drinking coffee!!!
