Gurgle and burp after every sip



Recommended Posts

So I had my sleeve done on November 2nd, and I'm having a really hard time drinking anything because every sip I take my stomach gurgles and I have to burp after which also adds to my nausea. (Nausea meds aren't helping) Anyone else have this problem? Also, taking my chewable Vitamins makes me super sick to my stomach. Luckily I haven't vomited, but I'm not getting enough liquids and Protein in. Is this normal?

I had a similar experience with my sleeve. I had my sleeve done on 4/25/16. Your body is relearning how to process food/liquid. It takes some people longer than others for the nausea to go away after surgery. Regarding the gurgling, that will probably stay forever. My ex had his surgery almost 5 years ago and he still has a loud tummy after he eats. It's a good thing! It means things are moving around.

Don't get discouraged! If the meds aren't helping with the nausea, speak to your doctor about it. They may have some alternatives that could help.

Thank you. It makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one with these symptoms. It's just difficult because I've always loved drinking Water, and now it's so challenging. Thank you for your response!

Post op there is the new "baby stomach" to care for.

Like babies, it can't handle too much if any adult type drink, food is consumed, and keeps gurgling and belching and protests often.

Stomach takes 6 months to heal completely.

I gurgled and belched in the early post op phases. Most of it has now gone away. I had my op early March 2016.

I remember getting severely dehydrated in my 2nd week, and that was scary.

I bought electrolyte drink then, Hydralyte, and to this day, most of it is still sitting in my fridge. This was a big lesson for me to keep my fluids up.

With Water, it was hard for me to sip or drink plain, so I started adding bit of apple juice or lemonade to it. This helped me.

I also drank lot of brewed black tea then. Now I switched to green tea.

Now, 8 months post op, I can guzzle 500ml in one go, no problems.

My gurgling, most of it has gone away.

I experience bit of gurgling and/or belching if I forget to eat, get too hungry, and consequently occasionally eat too fast.

It does get better with time!

I had chewable BN Multi for the first 3 months.

Then I went back to my regular Multivitamin, and it did make me nauseous many times. I was taking them After food.< /p>

I tried cutting them in half, and taking them After food, twice daily. This works for me, no more nausea.

As others said, please talk with your surgeon about any issues that you are having now and later.

Good Luck.

I have the same exact problem! and boy is it a pain in the ass. Its so hard to get in the fluids due to the burps. I have found that when drinking poweraid zero its a bitt better than with the shakes or Water.< /p>

If I find a solution I'll let ya know. :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
