tradingplaceswithme 27 Posted September 12, 2012 Great advice above. I had Lapband with plication exactly one year ago. Down 86 lbs, have always been able to drink with no problems. (don't have to sip) Choosing to have this surgery was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I'm almost to goal and so happy with it. Good luck! 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pheath 38 Posted September 12, 2012 I dont have to sip either. Congrats on all the weight loss! I'm down 16 since 8/10 (surgery) and 26 since 7/1. I definitely have restriction. 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cherie1303 2 Posted September 12, 2012 Carolina girl, are you saying I will feel more restriction after I heal from the plicaiton? Like I said I am not eating solid foods yet but I dont feel a lot of restriction from the liquids. even Soup.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pheath 38 Posted September 12, 2012 Not CG, but when you are eating so little you don't get as full. I was nervous in the beginning bc I was thinking I could eat alot but as you add thicker and more filling foods you should notice the restriction. I get chest pain if I eat more than about a cup. I am almost 5 weeks out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like I said I am not eating solid foods yet but I dont feel a lot of restriction from the liquids. even Soup.< /p> i will (say in regards to what i know only) that yes, i felt restriction more after i healed. i am 3 months post op and get full on about 3/4 to 1 cup of food. i get that (thanksgiving dinner stuffed feeling). so yeah, i def feel it (and esp after i healed/swelling went down). i hope it is the same way for you. (also, just because you cant/dont feel (restricted) eat like you are anyhow). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roobearb 5 Posted September 12, 2012 I read the burping indicates that you have eaten to fast and to big of bites and the burping is brought on by while chewing the larger bite it brings in more air to your system. I was burping really really bad was embarrassing especially in public but since I read this I eat off toddler silverware now and it is so much better and I attempt to count to 50 between bites Slows me way down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
