Help! I'm Posting On Behalf Of My Partner

[kk2012 0]

Im posting here on behalf of my patner, nearly a week post sleeve surgery. Burping absolutely non stop, scared to never eat again and some what regretting the decision already. Any advice?

Walk to help expel the post-surgery gas. Sip, sip, sip to keep themselves hydrated, and call their doctor if they are having issues with the post-op diet. They will be able to eat again. As for regrets, I think almost everyone has a day or two of that, but it's part of the mental healing process. Give your partner support and encouragement to walk and sip. That's the best thing you can do right now.

Good luck to you both!

Awe...I know about the non-stop burping, believe me (and there are many posts made by me along the way attesting to it!) I ate an entire box of GasX the first week alone. I had to eat one before drinking my meals or I'ld get even more gas! Finally, I think movement most of all, helps dislodge it and get it out (and don't stiphle it-let it out! Gross, I know-but it's got to come out! My two teen daughters were disgusted-couldn't help it!) I find Soup and broth still make me gassy so I have a GasX before eating-it really helps. You're a good partnerhope this helps!
