I was sleeved August 4th . I'm doing ok with pain. My question to all of you is, I swallow Water or any liquid and then I can't take another drink unless I belch. Is this normal and will it go away?

Yes it is for now. I had lots of burping my first week out. Doc said it is just one route to get rid of the gas.

Six months ago, I started a topic called "Sip, burp, sip, burp" with exactly this problem. My burping went away after about 4 weeks.

Yup it's normal. In fact, that's how I know I am full - I start burping. I don't get the tight feeling that most people report - instead I burp and I know that I'm full.

Ha! I wish I had thought of THIS as the way to describe that noise to my mom. My best attempt was the sound of someone 'farting in a tunnel'. LMAO!

I do BOTH burp AND gurgle... sometimes I wonder what the heck is going on in there!

It will decrease in intensity and frequency, but my experience is that burping is my new norm at 8 months. I have found all kinds of creative ways to burp quietly:)

I can't drink more than two sips and then I get a severe pain where my esophagus meets my stomach. I'm not getting my Protein in or fluids in. I worry I will end up back in the hospital for dehydration. I can't take this for longer that 4 weeks- 13 weeks, I thought about asking the doctor for an endogastric tube to release the pressure in my stomach.

You are still swollen and healing. Give it time. I could not get in all the Fluid and Protein I was supposed to for a couple of weeks, but I got in enough that I didn't have to go to the ER with dehydration. Sip, burp, sip, burp. Keep walking. Try Gas-X strips. It will get better each day.

When I first started eating soft foods, I knew to stop when I burped slightly. I'm now 4 weeks out, and i burp and hiccup after my first bite so I don't really know what my full signal is anymore!

Give it time, you are swollen and healing, You don't want them putting anything down there to irratate things further. Each day will get better. Are you using the little medicine cups they gave you in the hospital? We can not gauge how much liquid we put in our mouths with out them. I was told one medicine cup every 30 minutes and all would be fine.

I'm definitely a gurgler. If I take too big of a drink I get the same pain at the "connector" and burp. I was always a big burper pre surgery, so I was wondering how my body would handle them afterwards. Now they are such small burps!! I used to could burp very long and loudly!! I feel like one of my talents has been taken away :P.

      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.
