Ahh! So I feel this incredible urge to burp, but NOTHING will come out! I feel like Im constantly swallowing tons of air and it just upsets my stomach! Im 5 days post op...Does this sensation go away? Even when Im not drinking or eating anything it feels like bubbles are going down when I just naturally swallow! Is that normal? Tried GasX...anyone else have the same issue?

GasX meltaways work wonders. They are the dissolvable little strips. They will break down the gas and relieve all the pressure you are feeling. After over two years I still keep them in my purse. You can buy them at most drugstores. Good luck and hang in there. Better days are coming !

The reason I think you feel like you want to burp is that you are swollen on the inside where thay put your band as the swelling goes down the feeling should go away.

After a fill I always feel like I want to burp, my Dr makes me drink a whole glass of Water to see if I can burp if not I am a little too tight, Afer a few days that feeling goes away and so does hunger YAY..... What you are feeling is strange but normal after being banded.

      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.
