Incessant air bubbles after consuming anything



Recommended Posts

I’m almost 8 months post op and to this point I have no issues at all. However, starting today any time I eat or drink ANYTHING I get horrendous air bubbles. I spend the next couple hours burping or trying to burp to release the air. I don’t have any feeling of acid but the “bubbles” are very uncomfortable and I have nearly thrown up from the pressure when I burp.
Any ideas what this could possibly be?
I haven’t changed anything. Eating slow. Chewing slow. Not drinking while eating. Literally nothing has changed.

It may be food specific if it just started. What were you eating/drinking when it happened?


I would think that too, but I have the same thing I always have at work. Protein Shake mixed with coffee when it started. Then after anything (water, Gatorade, chicken, cheese, etc) it happened.

Burping and pain in your upper abdomen/epigastric region (from gas or???), can be symptoms of GERD. Probably a good idea to contact your PCP or surgeon’s office if symptoms persist.

Do you take anything for GERD now?

I’m glad you take something. Like I said though, if this keeps happening, you should contact one of your providers.

Hope you feel better!

      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.
