BURP!! I just want to BURP!



Recommended Posts

I have a big huge ball of burp sitting in my stomach and it won't come out. I take gas-x and feel good for about 5 minutes and then the need to burp comes back. I walk around and the burp tries to come out and gets stuck. It isn't painful but it's not a good feeling at all!

My surgery was Tuesday so I'm 4 days post op. I get little burps but I need a good BELCH!! Any hints on how to get this ball of gas out of my body?

No hints but I have it too. My surgery was wednesday. I get it if I drink too fast or too much. Other than the burping how are you feeling. I'm doing ok - little desire for the liquids. I feel full all the time.I even feel a little nausea after a few bites of Soup or a few sips of Protein Shake. I'm thinking this is normal, but not exactly sure. My energy is still on the low side and I get tired and have to lay down and rest but I'm feeling better every day and I think that's a good sign.I'm smelling good food but have no desire to eat it. Good luck!

I felt the same way just out and by the second week I was burping 'full' burps. I'm not sure but that stuck burp feeling might also have something to do with tummy swelling from the surgery. Regardless, it is really annoying, I know. I went for my first fill Friday and now I have the opposite problem and I'm burping like crazy. I'm hoping this is not permanent.

I, too, experienced this after my surgery. I discovered that if I leaned way forward (supporting my hands on a table or desk) and waited a few moments, the big rumbly burp could escape. Try it and see if it works. Getting the burp out feels great!

Let me guess.. .I big FOG horn burp:) I am a little shocked at the bass tones:):thumbup:

Everytime though, I know it is the gas leaving my belly... and every day the stomach swelling goes down... I ALMOST feel normal...

I am not hungry at all.. small amounts of food keep me full... I am more eating with my eyes than my stomach and that is my demon to conquer this week...so I decided to do something funny...

You know those little tupperwares you get in a box that you never use.... I put my servings of Soup or mushies in there, put them on a little saucer and I feel like I am at a buffett:):)

Very surprised that I am hungry more in the morning than at night... usually the oppposite prior to banding...

Good luck with the burping... it does help....my kids are laughing at me

Walking around does it for me. I find I have to take a lot of breaks while eating and burp. Just like a baby lol

Its funny you said "just like a baby"... when I had surgery, I decided that my stomach was re-born, and now I had to learn how to eat all over again. I view the steps from liquid to mushies to solids, both after surgery or a fill, a quick version of teaching a baby to eat.

After my surgery I had the worst gas EVER. Finally, it did go away. I still remember the day I realized I wasn't gassy. I nearly cried from happiness that it was gone. Still get it now and then, but just as before surgery, a good burp is one of the most enjoyable things in life!

I too had my surgery on Jan 26th and have the same problem. That is what brought me on line this afternoon. It is so uncomfortable. I was starting to get worried, but I guess this is normal.

Any help with being tired all the time? I also wanted to know if everyone on the liquid portion of the diet can't be to far from the restroom. I don't want to get into details, just want to know this is all normal.

All seems about the same as me!! If you'll pat my back, I'll pat yours! See if we can burp each other!

The way I'm feeling don't be surprised if I take you up on that offer! This is horrible. Kept me up last night and I don't see tonight being any better.

I am in my second week post op. I had that feeling all day every day for the first week. Once the swelling from surgery goes down, you will feel better and actually be able to burp a little. the first two days, burping hurt, so I was afraid to let it out. LOL

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
