Liquid Diet

I take chewable Vitamins, Flinstones to be exact. I also cannot burp, the doc said that the gas in a burp was bigger than the inlet of the stomach so it can't come up. I've finally gotten a little used to it.

Little side story about a habit that I had. When I drink liquids I have to be really intentional with every sip. I have a habit of breathing in before I drink. I now let the liquid hit my lips before I take it in. I was taking in a lot of air and that was causing burps and chest pains.

If you have any unexplained pain though, I urge you to call your doc about it, better safe than sorry!

You're only 2 days out. Truthfully, I don't remember how much I drank 2 days post-op. It probably wasn't more than 20 oz the whole day, but I know I did not get a pain in my chest after drinking and I do not recall not being able to burp, but don't think I did anyway.

Thanks RedTulips. I checked with my doctor and he said it all sounded quite normal and my nutritionist agreed. I guess we'll see how it goes

I was banded on the 15th. It still happens to me if I take too big of a drink. I can't burp at all:) I keep telling myself, small sips... Hope your doing well.
