October 18, 201213 yr I think the gurgling goes on for a little while. I did; however, puree some cream of potato Soup and strain it for any chunks and the starch in that seemed to help stop some of the gurgling (acid moving around in the stomach). Also, I take a Prilosec 40mg daily - which really helps in that area too. Good Luck!
October 18, 201213 yr Newly sleeved on 10/15 - when does the gurgling stop? This is just hysterical! Oh I hated it!!!! I also posted about it! Lol mine is going away 3 weeks out, sometimes it's still there but not often. Thank god!
October 18, 201213 yr 3 day out. Was wondering if I can take Gas-X strips. HELP!! The nurse at the hospital said I couldn't take them. Thanks guys.
October 18, 201213 yr The gurgling is the worst part of this while thing ... For me anyway. Gas X strips really help.
October 19, 201213 yr 3.5 months out and I still gurgle. Trying to just get used to it, lol. And I'm on a PPI. And gas-x, I only used them the first 5 days or so. Sure would have had so much more discomfort without it. I wonder why some people aren't allowed?
October 19, 201213 yr Not sure, but I feel like they are a life saver. The gurgling is annoying and embarrassing.
October 19, 201213 yr I'm 8 months out and still gurgle! My kids laugh at me because they can hear my stomach from across the room!
October 19, 201213 yr Author Hi Susan Nice to see you are up and moving. How are you feeling? Thanks, my time! I'm doing very well. My parents have been amazing at helping me remember to sip, sip, sip & Protein, protein, protein! My only issues at this point are that my navel incision is still pretty sore & my middle back is killing me. (Well, those things AND the amusing gurgling!!) How are YOU doing? You must be on phase 4 by now, right?
October 19, 201213 yr I am one week today. Certain foods make the gurgling act up more than others. Yesterday was my first cream soup. Delish? Yes! Gurgle, burp, gurgle? Yeah! I ate a gasX chewable to help. Was allowed to have GasX even in hospital. Now I eat one before soup or broth. Even though they are fat free, they still bother me. This morning, however, the gas pain was pretty bad - marching in place and pumping my arms like an idiot helps it escape! (Such a Lady, I am!-lol)
