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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
