I'm 5 weeks post op & whenever I eat from start to finish, my stomach begins rumbling & there's a lot of burping. I'm already taking a prescribed PPI. Do I need another one?? Btw, I eat slow & take little bites...any help would be greatly appreciated!

I experienced this when I first introduced food. It's slowly getting better. Does it hurt or cause discomfort? Or just loud and embarrassing ? If its not causing pain I would think it will probably pass and is your tummy just adjusting. I am on a PPI as well. And sometimes I wonder if it just makes it churn more lol

It doesn't hurt & it only happens when I eat or drink. I thought by now it would start to ease up, but its not. Also think that the PPI might be making it worse or I need another one...

burping is part of our sleeve experience. its a cross we must bare -_-

we have sleevers from the east to west coast, countries around the world.

i've burped so loud that i think some of you might have heard me from wherever you live :lol:

embarrassing if you are at the office or out and about, but oh well...........

if this is whe worst we have to live with to become healthy - i'll burp anytime :wub:

10 months PO - i still have the occasional "burps" -reminding me that my tummy is full, but definitely they are less frequent.

continued good luck

Thanks proudgranny...the little burps I can deal with, it's the constant churning a & rumblings from first bite to last...

I'm 7 weeks, and I've noticed an improvement in the last week or so. I do find it's worse in the morning...probably cuz I haven't eaten all night. Hang in there...it will hopefully pass soon...and if its continuing to bother you make an appt with a dr. Maybe a new PPI will help.

I had this problem for the first 2 months, when sitting with a client, my stomach would rumble loud and we would all start laughing. It does go away thank goodness.....Keep up the good job. :)

      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.
