So..... Burping?



Recommended Posts

So.... Does anyone feel like they are burping like crazy all the time? I hardly ever burped pre-surgery, but im a month out and cant seem to stop! It gets very embarrasing when i'm at work!

yes! I burp a lot now!! All day, everyday! I can control it, so only do it in private, but if I don't do it, I get all gassy and bloated inside, I'd rather get the burps out! I don't have indigestion though, it's just gass that doesn't seem to escape unless I force it to. I was banded in Feb of this year, so maybe it'll pass eventually, but I sort of think it's here to stay.

I can control it too. Can even do it on demand! LOL. I was out to dinner with my best friend one night and she accidentally let out a little one. She got sort of embarrassed and said oops. I asked her what the heck that was and she it was a burp. I said if your gonna do it, do it right and let out a monster just as she took a drink. It shot out her nose!! Was priceless!! Get used to it. They aren't going anywhere!!

Oh yes, burping is a regular occurrence for me now. No worries, you'll learn to tastefully disguise/hide your burps. My hubby is very impressed that I can belch better than the boys. hehe. ;)

The key here is SLOW DOWN, I have spent over 2 years mastering this burping thing; got real good at it. Then I started eating slower and chewing better, it helps to keep the air out. I found also if I am out with friends eating I would chew a couple of papya enzyens and that would keep it at bay.

It's weird cuz the only way I can burp is if I hiccup before the burp. Ne one else have hiccups and noticed too that I sneeze a lot since surgery.

      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.
