AmyV 82 Posted March 3, 2014 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justforme2014 28 Posted March 3, 2014 I'm three weeks out and excessive belching is my "full" sign . I don't know if that will always be the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AmyV 82 Posted March 3, 2014 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. 1 Frank Tardiff reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank Tardiff 18 Posted March 4, 2014 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) 8/24/2009 440lbs Today 210lbs and holding 1 SliminDownThick reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alwaysonadiet 47 Posted March 4, 2014 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AvaFern 3,516 Posted March 4, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
