Grumbling when eating

[annabanana49 0]

Hi all!

I'm two and a half weeks post op and my dr advanced me to stage three soft/solid foods. I notice that when I am eating my tummy gurgles and air comes up and sometimes I burp. I'm eating very slowly taking small bites and chewing my food 30-35 times. Is this normal and will it go away as time goes on? I'd hate to think that every time I eat in the future ill have to deal with this. It's kind of annoying!!

I'm only 9 days post op and having the same issues - but not with everything. Remember, our lil tummies are still healing and we're asking it to digest more and more complex stuff with every stage. I've read other posts on this forum that say this is totally normal and it DOES go away. For some people a few weeks, sometimes a few months, but it should eventually subside when we've completely healed.

For me, it mostly went away. It was very loud and obvious in the beginning, but over time it happened less frequently and less loudly. Now I only gurgle if I eat too quickly or drink too soon after having eaten.

Oh good!! I was starting to think I was destined to be grumbling girl. tonight my hubby heard it and said what's going on in there?? I'm glad I'm not alone. It's really annoying not to mention a little uncomfortable. I freaked out and thought I wasn't eating the right foods. I checked my binder under the stage three acceptable foods a hundred times to make sure I was indeed eating the right foods! As if it would change from the last time I read it!! Lol...nice to know I'm not too crazy. :-)
