Hey sleevers!

Had my surgery on Monday and my recovery is going well. The only problem is that I keep burping whenever I drink anything. Is that normal? Am I drinking too fast? Too slow? It doesn't hurt to burp or anything, it's just a little annoying.

Hope everyone is doing well!

But yes the noises are annoying to say the least :)

Yes, completely normal. I still burp sometimes but most of the time it is a gurgle, whether I am drinking or eating.

I have the same problem and I am on week 3 now, I asked my surgeon, and he said to drink slower and that should calm it a bit. He described it as for the liquid you are putting in, air in ur stomach is being displaced, and therefore a burp will occur. I guess some of us are just lucky to have more air and what not than others. :|

I do find that when I sip slower it does help a bit, but as the day goes on so do the burps....

Good luck to you =)

I was told it's because of all the air they pumped in from surgery plus we might be drinking too fast so I take a sip and slowly let it go down... It will get better I'm post op 2 days and I havent burped as much but I do get lil chest pains ... Have any of u had that??

Jess, haven't had any chest pains. Is it from you incisions? I do get some pains when sitting up due to the incisions.

I don't think so... Maybe I'm just drinking too fast , I might just call my doctor to play it safe.

I was sleeved on Tuesday and swear I've burped with every sip, no matter how small the sip or how slow I take it. Figured it was from the gas in my abdomen. Hoping it goes away or at least doesn't happen all the time when I go back to work!

I was sleeved Monday and I have had the exact same experience. My fear is that it wont stop. My theory behind this is that everytime we eat or drink we take in a little air but it's more noticable because the size of our stomachs are so small now. When they were normal size our stomachs had the room to allow for some air without needing to come up immediately, now they dont. Right now the burping is painful. My only comfort is knowing it will stop hurting as the stomach heals, but I am so saddened at this realization that I will burp with every bite or drink for the rest of my life. :( If anyone knows this to be different, please tell me so.

      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.
