Burping and farting? 3days post op

[robocop12 1]

All I do is belch. Take a sip? Burp. Move a fraction of an inch? Burp. Stay still? Burp. All I do is burp. Is this normal?!?? Doctor and nurse doesn't think much of it.

They also said I need to fart by Monday or call them. No farting yet. I've felt a storm brewing since the car ride home (I'm looking at you, stop and go traffic). I've walked a bunch too! Atleast 20 minutes for the past couple of days.

I was sleeved on 7/18. Yesterday my belly was distended and painful. I was so glad when I was able to burp and start getting the gas out.

Choice between breaking wind or being in pain is a no brainer. Let loose and let it rip.

Just make sure you're over a toilet the first few weeks when you do. You can't trust farts too soon after surgery TRUST ME!

I'm a month post op and I thought the burping would never end. Now I only burp when I start to feel full. That's my sign to stop eating.

Sometimes I feel like I need to burp but can't. I think if I do I will vomit. Hiccups also hurt- I am three weeks post op tomorrow!

Oh yes totally normal, I'm 5 months post op & I burp ALL the time! It also doesn't take much to make me pass gas

I don't like this ;(. I don't like burping. At. All. Times. Is this all normal?!

I was able to pass gas when I got into bed. Don't think I sharted lol.

So burps might become vomits?! Also did you all force yourself to drink??

Sometimes- after I eat- I feel like there is a bubble in my throat and I need to burp. However, if I make myself burp I will throw up. It has to happen on its own.

If you will MAKE yourself drink every few minutes now, it will become a habit and won't be so hard to later. That has been my experience.....
