Please add me... i am MySpace.com - www.myspace.com/11623237

I have only recently started the burping thing. Only since my last fill a few days ago. But its not always a burp...i feel like i have to and when i try and burp, i can feel a little bit of what i'd just eaten come back up a little to the back of my throat. Of course swallowing after i burp. This can go on for like an hour. I don't know if its the restriction and i ate too much, hense coming up a little when i burp...i know the food isn't "stuck".. as i've experienced that too and that is very painful and made me naucious and puke. This is different.. just kinda feels weird and maybe full...hense maybe why i constantly feel as if i have to burp and when i do, a little food comes to the back of my throat. Am i making sense? does anyone know what i'm talking about?

Wow, i'm sorry to hear all these painful stories. I've had 4 fills so far and none of them have hurt. In fact, i barely even feel anything. I've never used anything to numb me either. I feel a very very light prick and thats it. Sometimes it feels a little weird when they pull the needle out but never any pain.

i've found myself not eating that much. i don't get very hungry during the day, and sometimes find myself eating maybe 1 yogurt and some milk and water all day. Today i just had a yogurt not because i was hungry but because i'd only had half a smoothie and some milk all day. This isn't very healthy huh? lol i am sure next week when i move on to mushy foods i will be inspired to eat more. Has anyone else had this issue of not being hungry?

thanx for the reply. its not that i'm worried about not losing weight, i've only been not eating much simply because i'm not hungry. Drinking all this water is also filling me up. i'm going to talk to my nutritionist asap.

I am only a week and a day post op. And i'm on full liquids right now. My will power has been faltering. Yesterday i gave in an had a scrambled egg, which i'm not supposed to do til next week. And tonight i had a small piece of a chicken and cheese hot sandwhich on a tortilla bread. I've had no ill effects either time. I'm trying my hardest but i'm only human. Does anyone know how bad it is for my stomache that i caved in an ate such things? am i really hurting myself even though i feel fine? Has anyone "cheated" like i have? or am i the only one with crappy willpower.

Thank you all for your help. I didn't realise that the stomache was actually stiched to the band. And i figured since i was chewing the food to a near mush that it wasn't any different than yogurt and such lol... i know, always try and come up with the reasoning even though i know its wrong. I have til friday to be on full liquids and then the mushy stage should be easier for me. The weekends are hard cause i'm home with family and they cook and i can smell good things all day... when i'm at work its easier.. keeps my mind off things.
