Burping, Hiccups, and PBing?



Recommended Posts

Hi there -

I have a struggled with inconsistent tightness for a while and have discussed it with my doctor who just shrugged. However, the last few days it seems to have increased a bit. I am now burping, not little burps, but loud, deep ones, hiccuping, and having a hard time keeping things down. It seems to start around lunchtime and lasts through about midnight. Today, all I had was some juice and a Protein drink for Breakfast, liquids all morning, and then at lunch I ate a piece of laughing cow cheese, one bite of sliced turkey and one bite of cracker. It started with pressure and pain, then got to the point that I had to leave a meeting to PB. It has been continuing. I tried some pineapple juice ... no luck. Any thoughts? Thanks.

If you were pbing today, you may actually be little tighter if you have some swelling from the pbing. Try going on liquids only tomorrow. If Saturday you reintroduce food (make sure you take small bites and chew well) and it happens again, I would probably go request a slight unfill. You don't want this to continue and get worse. Good Luck

I think the hiccuping and burping just come with it. I get aweful hiccups almost every meal. And my hubby makes fun of me cuz I burp more than he does! But it does sound like you may be a little too tight.

Well, it got worse and I ended up in the ER for dehydration and an emergency unfill on Sunday. I talked to the doctor on Friday and they thought I could wait until Monday ... that turned out not be accurate. :tongue:

      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.
