Im only day 5 post op from DS but I hate not knowing if what I'm feeling is normal or not. I get intense, often loud, rumbling of my stomach. Could this be gas still? Last night it was all night long, ever 10 minutes. I thought maybe it was hunger but so many people said they don't even feel hunger anymore. Should I just relax? Did others feel this? Thanks

hey, ive done the gastric sleeve not the DS but this might help! im 3 weeks post op but i may have experienced what you’re going through. gases are completely normal i experience them every while and then which makes me avoid some foods till now such as gum or straws or anything that will irritate your stomach. as well as drink as much as you can from water or healthy hot drinks (tea isnt allowed yet) also the hunger is completely normal im still experiencing it until now i even had many mental breakdowns about it but trust me it gets better!!

Have you had milk or cheese or something w/lactose?

Hey! I’m on day 14 and I felt the same way you did and was thinking the same thing.. but I think it really was just gas pains. The last 5 days or so have been a lot better. ?
