Ad surgery last Wednesday, been home since Friday. Noticing that whenever I take a drink of anything I burp. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong that has me taking in too much air?

I'm three weeks out and excessive belching is my "full" sign . I don't know if that will always be the case.

I was sleeved on 2/24....... Yep, gas is normal. I use 2 gasx strips and that really seems to help.

This is helpful. I thought the burping was a sign of my being full but that's impossible considering I burp when there's nothing in me.

Small sips, no straws, to keep the air out, since my RNY I can no longer participate in the manly art of long draw out burps. ;0( lol only little dinky burps that let me know I'm consuming to fast. Good luck. :0)

I so wish I could burp!!! I think burping is a big relief. I sip Water then little bubbles come out, very annoying, takes forever and a bit painful. If I could let out a burp all would be over and done with and on to the next sip. Haha!

I was a burping queen for about 4-5 months after surgery. I've only recently noticed that I can eat again without burping for a half hour afterwards.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
