sipping on clear liquids and burping after every sip



Recommended Posts

I have irriatated my band after a double pb the other day.

This is day 2 of liquids for me.

Yesterday was tea, broth and a popsicle

Today is tea, and 2 popsicles so far

I am slowwwwly sipping to keep hydated because the liquids came up yesterday.

I am gurgling less...burping more...

do not feel 1 bit of hunger, just feel like I need to proceed with caution... kinda swollen, bruised like I scraped my insides feeling.

The configuration of your stomach is altered. It isn't one nice big bag any more. That's one reason some docs say "no straws" (although once I was 6 months out I started using mine...gum disease...but don't notice more/less burping)

It will get better over time and you'll get used to it but things are not like they were in there; you'll burp and gurgle more and some foods will produce more gas than you are used to.

This is also a big reason we're to avoid carbonation...something carbonated in the little pouch...or trying to escape through the smaller opening in the stomach, can be a recipe for pain at the least.

Hang in there!

And yes if you had a bad PB (esp at just 2 months out) it is good to let things calm down before you go back to "normal"

      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.
