I just had my surgery on the 28th and I was wondering if anybody experienced gurgling and gas pains when drinking liquids? Is it normal?

I had mine on the 27th and yess gas pain hurt sooo bad. I'm still in the hospital due to lack of water intake. I'm taking gasx strips helps a little bit but hopefully I get discharged today

I wondered this too. It's very painful. What can be done besides a walking I do that but no has moving.

Mine was yesterday when I get gas pain I walk it off. My problem is nausea and pain. May have to stay another day in hospital[emoji20]

Walk walk walk. It really helped me. I couldn't walk much the first 2 days, but day 3 they said go to the gym. Well I dusted off my elliptical and that definilty eased the pains.

I would do 5-15 minutes each time a few times per day.

Plus I am freaked out by the risk of blood clots. ?

I had such horrible gas pain, I couldn't even sit down! I would aimlessly walk around my living room at all hours of the night literally in tears praying it would go away. I know everywhere I looked all I saw was people saying "walk, just walk! gotta walk!" and it annoyed me so bad because I was walking but I was still in so much pain, but sadly they were right. I tried gas-x strips and chewable Mylanta but they didn't work. I literally walked nonstop and then one day everything just "relieved" itself. Although I will say, once you can have greek yogurt, that helped my stomach gas a lot surprisingly!

Had surgery a day after you and I'm going through the same thing. When I drink I kind of have a bit of heartburn feeling.

I was 3/21 and had that for about a week. I'm 10 days out now and it's mostly gone ( only a couple times a day now, if that). It gets better! I found that taking gas x and then walking while drinking helped a lot.

I just had my surgery March 28th, so I am at the beginning of my process.

me to the 28th

I had mine the 28th as well. Managing gas pain by walking for 15-20 minutes every time I eat. Barely getting in 40 g of protein.

Me too!!! Gas pains just now going away.

I had my surgery the same day, and have now realized that when I feel the pain and hear the gurguling it means I am drinking too fast. I drank my protein shake too fast this morning, and really paid for it afterward!
