SandyR 0 Posted December 25, 2012 My surgeon/dietitian basically just gave me a hand out stating what stages i start what, and examples of food right now I am a week out of surgery, I had it on DEC 18th, and the packet that I received gave suggestions like tuna, mash potato's, Soup, shakes, shaved deli meat. etc. I'm just making sure this is right, I'm watching my portions, making sure I don't eat to much, but every time I eat, or drink I burp, and until I do its painful. Any input would be amazing, TY!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COnative 192 Posted December 25, 2012 Hmmmmm... It almost sounds like you are sucking air down when you eat. I had a similar problem cuz I was eating too fast. My husband used to have to burp me like a little baby. Maybe, I know this will be painful in it self, try to eat slower and make sure you are never eating and drinking at the same time. Good Luck!

SandyR 0 Posted December 25, 2012 Thanks so much for the responses. I was a little lost I'm glad I came across this website. I am using a straw with my liquids and its helping with the burping from that. ( googled). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smokey12 71 Posted December 25, 2012 My surgeon does not allow us to use straws what so ever. It makes you swallow air. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
algundiasereflaca 0 Posted December 26, 2012 It's too soon to eating those types of food at this stage. I too had my surgery same day as you, but I'm still in clear liquid diet. I recommend you call your doctor and verify Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cm89 1 Posted December 26, 2012 i had the surgery the same day as you and i have the same issue. everything i drink, except for Water, essentially goes down slow and will cause a type of bubbling in my stomach and eventual burping. When i had my barium leak test, the doc said results show that liquids go down very very slowly so I'm wondering if that might be my issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SandyR 0 Posted December 26, 2012 Congrats! I'm so excited for us! It's just the annoying little things like the excess burping with everything I show I do it more with Water and not milk. And it happens with everything I eat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SandyR 0 Posted December 26, 2012 I emailed my dr's nurse to double check thank you. Because clearly it states in the hand out Those foods. I too thought it was to early so I've been doing yogurt and Soup blended things Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
