Newbie Needs Help

I was sleeved 2 days ago. I got home from hospital yesterday. This morning I started with my first protein shake. I am sitting here trying to get it down a tiny spoonful at a time. I hear lots of gurgling and some discomfort. I just want to know if this is normal and will it get better?

Yes, this is very normal. I couldn't even drink protien shakes at all because they made me feel sick. I drank High Protien Boost instead and it agreed with my stomach better.

I was told not to worry about protein for the first week just to stay hydrated. Protein still makes my tummy bubbly at 9 weeks.

the gruggling stomach is very normal and i hate it but you must do what you have to do

I'm 4 weeks out and my gurgling tummy is my alarm clock! When it's empty or getting full, it tells me! Annoying but it does remind me to eat otherwise I could go hours and hours now without eating/just don't feel hunger the same as before!

You will hear it for many many weeks

The first week, my surgeon wants me on clear liquids, but to add protein bullets....1 42g bullet/day. Then the second week (after the first post-op appt) on to full liquids and the protein shakes.
