Why Is This Happening?

[jiggyjen1982@yahoo.com 15]

Almost every time I eat, I belch food up. Sorry!! I know that is gross, but am I eating to much or is there something wrong? I am 4 & 1/2 wks post op. I have never thrown up, but have belched food up a lot. It's not a lot of food when it happens, & burping ( I mean some LOUD burping) proceeds afterwards. Has anyone else experienced this? I had a hernia repair when I had my sleeve surgery. Before surgery it was nothing uncommon for me to belch food ALL the time. I was hoping after my surgery & the hernia repair that it would be a thing of the past. I just don't want there to be something wrong with my sleeve.

You may be eating too fast, causing an increased level of reflux. Take time to chew your food really well, and try to keep your meals smaller and more frequent. Good luck!

I had belching after surgery when the bites I took were too large and I didn't chew them up enough, or when I swallowed air as I was eating. Make sure your bites are tiny and you chew them to mush before you swallow them.

Are you still on mushy food? I was on liquids for 3 weeks then mushies for 3 weeks.

I am 2 1/2 weeks out and I get that alot too. I will take the eat smaller bites and slower into consideration.

Thank you for asking this question. I have been doing a lot of "vurping" too and its pretty gross. I already thought I was taking tiny bites and eating slow, but I will have to be more careful.

This is a grouse feeling I get when eating toooooo much and toooooo fast. I have to make conscious efforts to slow down and eat a little less. My eyes are bigger than my stomach. LOL
