3 weeks post op

I’m wondering is it normal to be gassy after eating. I’m on purée now and almost everything I try gives me gas. I don’t know how to make myself burp either so it’s just stuck there until I finally burp naturally.

Has anyone else experienced this sensation. Is it normal?

Thanks you!

It’s normal. You may be sucking in too much air when eating. Also, They put a lot of air in you during surgery. You should be burping and passing gas. Then, You’ll become more comfortable as gas travels out. Try coughing 10 times every hour too. It helps so much!

It’s weird I never passed gas or burped much after surgery. I hardly had any gas pains! I felt like I didn’t even have surgery lol.

Yeah I think I’ve been eating too fast

I’m trying to slow down

watch what you're eating too. I've noticed if I mix my shake too much and create bubbles, I get the sharp gassy pains following. I've had that with a few other items.

Walking and rubbing my lower back helps with moving gas or burping. I read on one of these forums that someone used a pillow at her belly and started patting herself on the back to burp. I've used my boyfriend to rub my back and that helps too.

3 weeks now and have EXACT same thing. Tum is waking up and this is expected. It’ll get better with time.
