survived my surgery, now i've got questions!

i'm four days post-op and things are going ok. had a lot of gas pain the first couple days but that has leveled off. it seems to be moving around my system a lot. very loud! is that normal? also, does anybody have tips on swallowing less air with liquids? i don't feel like i am but i have lots a "burbles". that's what i call the little rumbly bubbles and fizzes in my throat and pouch. not using a straw, taking small sips, but still very noisy burbles.

Oh, yeah. Get used to hearing your plumbing work. :)  Just keep sipping. There's not much you can do if you're already sipping and not trying to gulp.  Glad you're home and doing well.

thanks! trying not to let it freak me out.

Yep, noise is normal.  You sound like you are doing fine.  Keep walking, sipping and resting.  You will be fine.

The noises are normal.  Three years later and I can still hear my some days.  No way to control it.  Sometimes it is like you can hear the fluids moving through you!!

Welcome to the Loser's bench.  Sounds like you are doing great.

Oh the noises!!!!! The gas didn't level as quickly for me. The heating pad helped some and GasX strips. Sounds like you are doing well!!!! Keep on sipping!!!

It seems to show back up in waves. I can't tell if its worse with one of my different protein drinks or not. hadn't thought of the heating pad. i'll have to try that. Thanks!
