I was wondering if anyone else gets tiny butterfly spasms after RNY - almost like baby kicks in the early days for those of you who have experienced that?

It's not painful or unpleasant, just a bizarre sensation.

What do you all think it is??

I get those right now. It's such a weird feeling and makes me catch my breath and hold it until it's over. I chalked it up to my thyroid maybe being off and causing heart palpitations? But dunno? Hopefully someone will come in soon and tell you!! ((hugs))

I am 4 days post op and my doctor said those are called spams due to much rapid liquid going through the esophagus. So she prescribe a medication that I can crush and add it to my liquid intake every 12 hrs along with gas x and it has work wonders. I hope this helps

Ms Tipps- could it be the food leaving your pouch and and sliding into your small intestine? Rather a small swoosh sensation.? I've been puzzling on the symptom and that's what I'm. thinking.

Yes I suppose it could be. It's not sore just a funny flittery feeling. It's not directly following meals but I guess the food will sit for a bit to digest before going anywhere x

I noticed a different kind of spasming a few days after I came home from the hospital -- my stomach muscles started twitching randomly, enough that it was noticeably moving the material of my shirt. I couldn't even feel it, though.
