i know this subject has been brought up before, i just don't remember the answer, sorry. I seem to frequently "belch" during the day. I'm just eating a Protein Bar now, only about 1/2 way through, and I belched. Does anyone else have that feeling? Does this mean i am supposed to stop eating cuz i am tecnically full cuz i belched? thanx kathy

hi brandy - do you stop eating then, after you belched? Hating that word now.even if you are 1/2 way through your "permitted" portion? I feel silly asking this question cuz i'm not a newbie. All this time have i been eating too much? it doesn't seem too much, but maybe i was overeating! oh no - help

I find that I belch if I ate too fast, so I just slow up a bit and am able to finish my meal.

I stop eating at that point....also, i am still trying to control how fast i eat...so that may be part of my problem.

HEY! On behalf of men everywhere I resent that remark :)

Yep, the poor little swollen sleeve has no where to release the gas as it's packed full of food so UP it comes. Normally a lot of this gas producing action would be passed on to the intestines where some is adsorbed and some is, well, you know, passed the OTHER way.

The pouch is pretty NON flexible due to it's size and the band of thicker tissue at the top and new scar tissue along the side and bottom from the operation so the gas has to go SOMEWHERE so let it rip. Unless you sound like Will Ferrell did in the movie ELF after he drank a full 2 liter bottle of Coke then you should be OK :)

It lessens with time but never really goes away. Hiccups are another common problem when getting full. Just eat slower and eat LESS - which is what we're all after anyway!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
