3 days post op, stomach gurling causing pain

Hello

I was discharged last night from hospital. My only Complaint is the gurgling going on in stomach (I think). Shortly after I drink I get what feels like air or gurgling. It's painful. It only lasts a few seconds and then relieves itself but it hurts. Does anyone know what this is or have any information for me? Am I drinking too much? I feel like I haven't been drinking at all.

My stomach did it too, it will get better and then not hurt as much. It's been 2 weeks for me and my stomach stills does it, it's like all the air is rising to the top and then released.

Yea that's what it feels like. Ok. Thank you. So I should continue to drink so I don't get dehydrated. I've been afraid to continue drinking.

Yes keep drinking slowly. Don't get dehydrated. That will be a whole other problem.

Yes, I had it too..still do a little over 2 months out...sometimes worse than others, it does slow down though, but it's normal!

I experienced the same thing until about day 5, then it got much better. Good luck!

I'm on day 14 and still get the stomach gurgles depending on what I eat. I quickly found out that sugar-free Jello and sugar-free popsicles cause major gas pains almost immediately after the first bite. So you might want to pay attention to what you're eating and see which ones are causing the most gas.

I asked for a sugar free pop and they brought me some sugar free Water ice.....I highly recommend it for getting in fluids and get off your narcotic drugs and you will feel so much better! I an on day 3 and getting discharged and what a difference from yesterday! I threw up so much I thought I was going to die! Good luck!

Emersldeye- sugar free water ice. What is that made of, do you know? Thanks for the suggestions and responses. You've really helped me calm down and not worry about that pain.

Getting off the narcotics helped, then getting past liquid phase and eating Greek yogurt and probiotic powder fixed it for me. I had that really bad for a couple weeks!

I am one week out from being sleeved and found benefit with using a small straw and taking in small amounts of Propel water and warm Lipton Tea to provide me relief from that pain and stomach gurgling issue. good Luck!!

Yes' date=' I had it too..still do a little over 2 months out...sometimes worse than others, it does slow down though, but it's normal![/quote']

I had Dr beall too in Tyler :) did u follow his crazy diet schedule? After 21 days of Clear liquids since pre op I feel like death. I'm one week post op now.

I also get a pressure but in my left side of my tummy and its freaky to say the least and hurts
