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?

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 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.

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!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
