Like a Goodyear Blimp!



Recommended Posts

I've got so much air on my tummy from my second fill I feel like a blimp. I've been belching like a logger. It seems the more I burp, the more I need to burp. It's constant, not just when I eat. It's all day long. I had some burping after my first fill, and the day before the second fill was probably the worst. Since then, it's been constant and uncomfortable. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I took some Gas-X and it didn't seem to do anything.

For b-fast I had some scrambled eggs and a few cherries. I've been drinking crystal lite. I had a handful of my son's Corn Nuts. That's about it. I'm still not to restriction level, and can eat everything without problem.

I didn't have this problem after surgery, just since my fills. Sometimes it's hard to get the burp up, and then when I do, there's still more in there creating pressure.

Anyone? Please!

I have read on here that Crystal Light can cause gas. I don't drink it so I can't say for sure, but maybe you could try drinking something else (maybe Propel or plain Water? ) for a couple of days to see if that makes a difference. Hope this helps.

Hi,

Sorry for your pain! It could be the sweetener in the crystal light. It can sometimes give me gas - but err....not usually the burpy kind! :)

Hope it goes away soon!

      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.
