Ok I have a few questions.. If anyone has answers for suggestions I would appreciate it..

I am one week post op and I have been on full liquids since the day after my surgery. I have had an ok to rough week pain wise..

My fluids ..protein and Water are going down fine no issues, but I am suppose to start mushies tomorrow and I am a little worried.. I know to eat super slowly and super small bites..

Basically my question is ..a few times a day I will get what feels like a gas bubble in the middle of my throat and I will try to belch but nothing and then a few min later I will hiccup which hurts pretty bad :D I must say.. After I hiccup it will clear for awhile and then it may or may not come back.. Also, every once in awhile I will get this bubble that will form in my belly and it will be a little painful and then it will sounds like it goes up growls and is gone.. I thought that was a new hunger pain or gas.. I could not decide. It happens more when it is time for me to drink my Protein drink then anything and then once I drink it that feeling subsides for awhile until it is almost time for me to drink it again.. I cant figure out what any of this is and well it is all uncomfortable..

Does anyone have this feelings or suggestions on what they may be??

Thanks in advance.. Hope everyone is doing well..

Hi! I do not have any suggestions. However, I was banded on 9.29 and I think the same thing is happening to me.

HI. I was banded Sept 30. I also get my full liquids down easily but it seems like whenever I swallow something it stirs up the air in my esophagus. I get the feeling of a ball of pressure and try to burp it out. The burping is painful. I saw my doc today for my first post op and he did not seem particularly concerned about this. There seems to be a lot of messages on the boards about gas and gas pain. I wonder if it will ever go away???

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
