Do any of you still have really huge burps? I wasn't much of a burper before wls but now if I am not careful I swear I could out burp my dh! They also come at unusual times (not right at a meal like you would expect!). Sometimes I will be in my office hours later and bend over to get something out of a file drawer and BAM a long ugly burp will rear it's ugly head. :blink: They aren't all that easy to stiffle either! :thumbup:

Anyone else have that problem?

I don't think I burp as much as I used to. Sometimes though, I let out a huge one. Yesterday I was having lunch and my stomach started hurting. All of a sudden, this huge burp came out. I was really glad I was alone in my office.

I don't have huge burps, but if I eat too fast, I get awful, loud hiccups. So much so, that everyone will be looking at me and wondering what I'm doing. Definitely a motivation to eat slowly, as to avoid the spotlight and have everyone in the lunchroom/conference room/restaurant looking at me.

When I first got banded I had all that gas in my belly and I belched for a LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGg time really loud for about 5 days. After about the third fill I couldn't belch anymore. I don't know when the last time I belched was. I do get hiccups more now though. I never use to get those...

I definately burp more now and louder. And I get the hiccups a lot too. At least we look better now when we burp. LOL

I get the hiccups, but I always have. If I get really happy, I get the hiccups. it's embarrasing. I worked at this really crappy job and every day on the walk to the back to clock out I would get the hiccups.

That's hilarious Tara. So if someone you dislike slips and falls, you make sure you're out of hearing range right?

Hmmm... I guess I'm alone on that one.

Lil, what does it feel like to be over half way on the weight loss? Details, details and tell me slowly. I want to savor it. Gotta live vicariously for a bit longer.

Definitely much more burping here since getting the band. And A LOT more since I got this last fill. Oh well...it's a small price to pay, I suppose.

How long does it take for this insurance company to approve someone after the 6 month supervision dieting and all the testing?

      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.
