Strange question....need feedback



Recommended Posts

Okay, does anyone else have gas really bad that you burp/belch? The last 2-3 days has been really bad. I open my mouth and woops...I belch. Not very lady like either! My husband asked if I drank a soda or something. And I haven't had a soda in a year and a half! hahaha

I have a 10cc band with 6.5 in it. I got a fill a week ago, it's been pretty tight. Eat small amount now every 3-4 hours and been drinking plenty of Fluid. So much Fluid that I get the hiccups all the time.

Anyone else have the burping? Thanks!

I burp much more frequently since having lap band. I also hiccup when I drink too fast and when I am getting to the point where I need to stop eating! Like you, my burps just seem to come out, without any warning! I think that it is pretty common :)

Not a strange question at all! Yes, I get burps out of the blue, and the hiccups a lot. Not quite 2 weeks post op so I haven't yet figured out what they are signaling, if anything.

Burping is my soft-stop signal. Meaning when I'm eating and start burping, I better stop or at least slow waaaaaayyyy down or else the next thing I know I'm over full or stuck.

I think with gastric surgery, increased noises are the norm. :)

I too hiccup when getting near the "full" mark. The other night I had regular hiccups, not food related, and my 9 year old niece said, "Uh-Oh". I asked her why she said that and she said that once you start the hiccups, then you get sick.... I felt bad and did not realize it was so obvious to her.

      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.
