Sipping liquids causing cramps and burping?



Recommended Posts

I'm only two days out so it may fade but I was wondering if anyone else had problems with your tummy cramping and the feeling of needing to burp OH! And hiccup-burping early on while drinking? If so... Did this eventually fade?

I had the same thing for 3 or 4 days post-op. I had to take tiny tiny sips. I could feel bubbles rolling through my stomach all the time. If I tilted my head back and tensed my stomach muscles a little I could force a burp out.

Good to hear I am not the only one. Did most of your excess gas come out that way? My nurses keep asking me if I have passed gas but so far only the burping.

I also had surgery Monday and am having the same burping/hiccupping too. When I drink too much, it feels like pressure under my sternum. I am going to ask about it today when I have a checkup. I have passed gas as well as burping. My thought is that we are still pretty swollen and raw in there and it probably will feel odd for a few days at least.

It goes away give it a few more days to a week. That was the hardest part for me.

All my gas came out in burps, I didn't really eat anything at all the 1st 7 days, so there wasn't anything in my intestines to ferment. It was weeks before it started coming out the other end. :-P

When I went for my surgical follow up this morning, he said the burping, pressure, hiccups were all normal and would subside. Made me feel a little better. After the barium swallow to see my little tummy, I see why I might feel that way! Pretty skinny in there!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
