Hello! I had gastric bypass on 7/6 and just started my purée phase on 7/22. Things seem to be going pretty well however when I’m eating purée chicken or tuna I get pressure in my chest and upper back and find myself burping a lot. Could this mean I’m eating too fast or taking big bites or is this something like acid reflux?

I don't think it's reflux, reflux doesn't happen when you're eating. Pressure means that you are getting full or are full, and burping means you are swallowing air with your food. Can you slow down? Put down the fork and chew until your food is mush and well-mixed with saliva? Then wait a minute or two until your next bite. My bypass was 6/29 and I'm still learning about what works and doesn't.

If this is only happening on Tuna/Chicken, then I'd probably drop these and try them again in a week or two. Many have different foods that give them issues at various stages post-op but seem fine later on. Mashed avocado does the exact same thing to me.

You are probably eating too much or too fast and burping is telling you to stop.

I sneeze when I have gone to far.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
