Burbbaling...

Ok so i got a fill on December 28th and I've had an EXTREMELY rough few weeks. It was like learning how to eat all over again! (I have 5.4 cc in 10 cc band)

A few different things have been happening to me. I've lost almost 10 lbs since then.... YAY!

I could hardly eat at all for 2 weeks! Hence... the 10 lbs. I was very close to going for a little unfill.

Now I can tolerate food. I'm being very careful and paying closer attention to what I'm doing.

What I'm having a problem with is Fluid. EVERY time I drink coffee, carnation instant Breakfast, sometimes even Water. I have these weird noises coming out of my throat! Which is seriously embarrassing when other people are around me, or I'm on the phone AT WORK. Gurgle, Burbbal, Sweek, various types of mini belching.

I've tried holding fluid in my mouth and just letting it seep down my throat and it STILL HAPPENS!

What to do what to do... :thumbup::blushing:

Hmm.... I had that only once, when I really too tight. You should probably call your doctor and let him/her know what's going on.

Congrats on the 10 lbs! :thumbup:

I have the same issue. I work in a cubicle with 3 other women, and I get very embarassed when the gurgling starts, as there is just nothing that you can do to stop it or hold it in . I also have the added issue of salivating after eating. I need to spit 6 or 8 times after eating a meal, and sometimes during a meal. I can't swallow it, because it will just sit on top of my food and cause more problems. It's embarassing and inconvenient to have to excuse myself to the bathroom every couple of minutes when I'm eating with others. I recently found if I carry an empty soda can, I can discreetly spit into it, and it looks like I'm just drinking a soda. I may be a little too tight, but my restriction feels right and I'm able to drink and eat adequate amounts. I'm going to try eating teeny-tiny bites a lot more slowly (tip from Hallelujah Girls post) and sip more slowly to see if that helps. Good luck to you!
