Does anyone else burp all the time? I'm 11 days out - doing great.

Averaging a pound a day of loss (mostly Water at this point, I know).

I feel fine.

Incisions are healing well.

I'm not getting anywhere near enough calories, but I'm trying.

Walking for exercise.

Getting most of my water in, everyday.

Had my first beef yesterday. My husband ordered a 1/2 pound burger (weight before grilling) I took 1/4 of it, tossed the bread and veggies and ate half of my portion. So one once of groud beef. Chewed really well. And had no problems from it. One ounce was plenty because it was so dense and I was nervous to eat too much.

But I burp, man I burp. All the time I burp. I had 6 sips of coffee this moring and I'm burping. It's not about being full, which is what I thought at first. It's just burping. Not sliming, Not PBing, just plain old, everyday burp.

Does anyone else have this same problem? It is embarrassing. I feel like a crude drunk Sailor.

Like Cazzy said, it sounds like you are eating solids too early. Everyone's Dr is different, so I just hope you are following the post-op diet recommended by the Dr.

As for the burping, I had extreme burping for two-three weeks post-op. I think it has to do with the gas they pump you up with and being full. It did go away after awhile. I only burp occasionally now.

I remember burping a lot in the beginning. Don't think I do it as often as before. Or maybe I just don't even notice it anymore!

I'm 9 days out, and I'm burping all the time too.

I had some edge (blended though) for Breakfast, and it was nice to have some 'real' food.

I am 14 days out and still burp when I eat or drink. I am trying to be really careful and not eat quickly and drink little amounts at a time but still burp like a pro. Glad to hear it will eventually go away.

I am following my guidelines pretty closely. I was 3 days early on the beef yes, but this is with Water and everything and has been going on since day one. This isn't the early beef.

Btw- if I hadn't had the beef I would have killed someone and therefore be in jail being fed bologna sandwiches!

.. it could also be that you are gulping in some air... without knowing it. Thats how i feel, thats ive somehow taken in air with my chewing and it wants to come back up again. it seems that most of us here have the problem with it. Tonight however, i had a good tea, took my time with it, well over a half hour. no burping at the end of it so i reckon taking it slowly meant that i didnt take in so much air.

My fiancé was banded almost 3 months ago and he burps constantly. He also eats too much and too fast but only his doctor can yell at him for that...

As for me, what I lack in frequency I make up for in volume...I sound like a truck driver!

Boy, yes! In the beginning, I felt like a frat boy with all my belching! It has calmed down in the last few weeks, though I do still burp more than I did before surgery. I think it's just a matter of there being less space for gas to escape through, but that's just my theory.

I still get a little embarrassed, but luckily my friends and family just find it amusing. :P

Everyone's doctor's orders are different. I was on soft solids 7 days out of surgery - per my surgeon.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
