Hi! I am 17 days post op and doing well! I am still on liquids and protein shakes. I was allowed to have yogurt and creamed/strained soups this week. Anyway I had tomato soup today and it went down fine but a ton of gurgling!! I also have it on occasion w the yogurt? Is this normal? Like I can feel it go down and then it's feels like bubbles in my throat down to my stomach? Will it get better??

You will always have some extent of gurgling. My kids say that I have swallowed a frog. They named him Kermit. Lol!

Yep...It's loud sometimes too. Ugh.

I am almost 8 weeks post-op and this has suddenly started for me. It is LOUD and actually woke me up in the middle of the night last night! So weird. And it seemed worse when I was lying on my back instead of on my side. Seriously it kept me awake for a while. What the heck? And why would it just suddenly start?

I find I gurgle when I eat something that doesn't agree with my sleeve. I have started using that as an indicator for foods that I'm not ready for.

My husband and I lay in bed and giggle about the sounds my tummy makes. Sometimes it sounds like an engine rumbling in there! And of course, it will always speak up when I'm in public and it's quiet.
