TMI - Embarassing questions



Recommended Posts

Hello Shamrocks!

I keep meaning to start this thread, then forget about it when I am online. I figured it would be nice to have a thread that is for all our embarssing questions and/or comments. Funny part is that right now I don't have one, but I wanted to start the thread before I forgot. :thumbup:

Burping a lot here too. It really does bother me. I am hoping that as time goes by and my body gets used to this new way of eating it will get better.

If I am with a new partner for the first time and he is noticing the port bump, I am doing something very very wrong................

I have been banded for 16 months and the burping doesn't seem to go away. I am not sure why, but I know a lot of banded people who have had their bands a lot longer than me, and they say it never goes away.

The band must trap air somewhere in there.

My daughter keeps telling me I need to learn to burp with my mouth shut.

Even with my mouth shut, sometimes they are very loud. It IS embarrassing. It's not very lady like, that's for sure.

I have to say that I LOVE my new burping skills! Sometimes I can lean forward and emit a low, gurgling growl that lasts five or six seconds. It's hugely satisfying!

      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.
