Does anyone get that feeling like you need to burp while eating but you can't because there is food in the way?

That just happened to me. I think it's because I ate to fast. I went ahead and burped the food up even though I know we r not supposed to. I had just ate a bowl of overlooked cabbage. Itt was so good. Only got about 1/4 cup in before it came back up.

I hate that feeling! It is so frustrating. I do hope it passes soon.

Sorry trying to learn how to work this thing. However as I mention before I am 1 week 3days post op. My doctor had us do a three day juice party and from day 4-14 we are only to drink four Protein Shakes and 48 oz of Water daily. I am always hungry and the Protein shakes does nothing for me. I tried some scrambled eggs and apple sauce today couldn't get much down. But I was wondering if anyone has any tips for me. I feel like I am going crazy. Before surgery my weight went back n fourth due to the fact that I don't eat enough it was never that I ate too much. I am a snacker and would most times skip meals due to my work schedule. I really want to make this a smooth transitions but I am getting very discouraged with this weeks foods of protein shakes. Do anyone think I can have some very cooked cabbage or Soups? I am dying here!!! Protein Shake girl lol

How many ounces are your protein shakes? Most that I find are 11 oz. do you drink the whole thing at one time? I am not sleeved yet but am in practice eating mode.

[Rasheeda1980 8]

Hello I am on 12oz of milk and one scoop of the Protein Powder which is 23g.

[Rasheeda1980 8]

And yes I can get done the whole shake. It's a little frustrating because I can drink fluids but when I drink the sipping thing is so much.

[Masf1220 34]

I would follow what your doctor ordered.

[Rasheeda1980 8]

Your right I am going to follow orders. I just hope she release me on Friday cause I don't know how much more of not eating I can take.

I am having my sleeve tomorrow and I am super nervous!! anything I should know!?

[Rasheeda1980 8]

Some advice no one told me was about the vomiting and nauseous you feel after surgery. And the gas pains OMG!!! But it will get better with each day. Good luck!!!

No but being 4 days out I feel like I have to burp and nothing comes out. My belly hurts from the gas. The gas is trying to escape and it hurts in the process. Have you had this bad with gas?

[JourneyToLife 119]

I'm 6 days post op and feeling much better. Had to stay an extra night in the hospital due to high blood pressure. Drinking well and sleeping a lot. Feeling hunger pains though.

I was re admitted the next day because of dehydration, SOB and I was hyperventilating when I walked. I hope my day 6 will bring me the same as you.
