The Weird Noises My Stomach Makes When I Eat Or Drink

I had my surgery on 11/19. Stayed in hospital for 2 days. I still cant get in all my fluids or Protein. Today, I downed 2oz of light yogurt and 2 oz of sugar free pudding. While it was going down, my stomach was making the most horrendous noises. Is that hunger pains? food looks good to me, but I am not hungry. The same thing happens when I drink. Then I start to burp right after drinking. This is so annoying.

I am taking a nexium each morning.

I also have NOT pooed since the Monday before surgery( 11/18)

The gurgling is normal. I have difficulty getting all my liquid and protein in too. Went to walmart yesterday and bought liquid whey protein shots. 3.8oz and has 42g of protein.

Took me exactly 7days postop for first bm! It hurt

Pooing is a sad event...

Don't go too long or it gets really bad. Ask about taking something to gets things moving. That us far and away my least part so far...

I'm 6 months post op & my stomach still makes weird gurgling/growling noises when I'm eating sometimes. People around me can hear them - quite embarrassing; don't know what causes it. Don't think it is hunger pains but I don't know what it is - maybe someone else can enlighten me.

I also had the constipation problem after surgery. I had to take a Fiber supplement and an occasional laxative per my dr's directive - things were very uncomfortable for a while. After about 3 months my diet improved where I was getting enough fiber naturally to make all normal again thankfully.

I'm 11 months post op and I'm still gurgling. I don't know if it ever goes away.

Go to the drugstore NOW and get (and take) some Miralax and stool softeners. Fecal impaction is a real worry -- I know, it happened to me. And it wasn't pretty. That could be the reason you can't eat much and your stomach makes such noises.

At 6 months my stomach still makes noises. GasX strips can help. I also added Probiotics and that has helped.

Yep - still get the gurgling and the burp, for me, means time to stop - you are now full.

It's just the new normal, not a big deal really.

I am 13 months and I only have a BM about twice a week. I use a stool softener average once or twice a week. It has gotten better as I was taking Miralax 3 days out of 7 for quite a while, so it has improved but still definitely not as regular as I used to be.

Eventually things will get back to normal. It's common to have the "two cats fighting" noises coming from your gut for a while. Once you heal and your body gets used to the sleeve things will be pretty much like before.

gas x worked for the voices in y gut and i just can't even tell you how much better i feel using gas x /simethacone, cheap it is not digested by the body. i take it after meals and before bed. it is the best tip i got from this site, good luck, let us know how you are doing

I'm 1 month and 4 days out and my stomach has recently started doing this. It's not painful and it's always after I eat. I do believe its due to digestion. But it is a tad embarrassing when your stomach sounds like you ate Chewbacca.
