trust me, next week it will come very naturally. You are still feeling the gas from the surgery and it will not come up because it is in your lower stomach and in your chest cavity. Once the gas goes away (not by burping) it will come so easy. I am 12 days out and I can't stop although I remember in my first week I felt I needed to burp but couldn't.

Wow, Zeniada, today I had real bad pressure all day I needed to burp and couldn't. I had my Surg the same day as you. It seems like you have good days and bad days. Today was the latter. Before surg I could burp on call. I guess things are a little different in there now. Hehe

It's not so much that I make my self burp, but when I feel just a little bit like I might I try to get it up. If that makes sense.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
