I am 6 days post op. I've only lost 12 #'s. I am sore so I limit my walks to 10 mins 3 times a day. Also I noticed a weird feeling in my gut after I eat and especially after I drink. It is like a gurgling/ squeezing feeling and I can hear it also. Has anyone else felt this?

First- 12 lbs at 6 days post op is phenomenal in my opinion. I am 2.5 weeks post op and down 12 lbs since surgery.

Second- my stomach gurgles a lot too, mostly while and after eating. Sometimes with drinking too. I think it's pretty normal.

6 days post op? And only 12 pounds??

Gee I don't know' date=' I would call the doctor.

That just doesn't sound right.[/quote']

Hmmm, I average 1 to 3 pounds a week BUT for the first two weeks I gained.

Remember all the IV fluids? They packed Water in you.

And I am down overall 100 pounds. Slow and steady wins the race. I spend my time learning about food and me.

Obviously my comedic timing sucks when it comes to the written word.... It was a joke.

I assumed you were joking. Just wanted to make sure the OP really didn't mean "only 12lbs." Cuz that's is a lot in 6 days even with surgery.

Thanks everyone for your replys to my question. I guess I was just being a little paranoid thinking the the weird noise is a leak. I go to my first follow up on Friday and will ask the Dr about it.

Weird noises? Well I'm several months out and my sleeve still makes weird noises!

It was so loud last night the dog got freaked out!

I am over a year out and have woke up at night and think I hear people talking and then I figure out it is my stomach.

Good grief!!! Mine gurgles but not like that! It usually only does it if I eat too fast, or if it's a really acidic food.< /p>

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
