Is it possible to have indigestion on just fluids?

[TeganRheana 1]

Last night and tonight I have had indigestion. Well I at least I think that's what it is. I have been sticking to my Fluid diet. I just feel as though I have something caught in my throat or something - which I know is pretty much impossible...

Anyone else had this?? Have any ideas of what it is and/or how to get rid of it faster. It's not painful or anything - just an uncomfortable feeling.

Oh, I forgot to add that I have been burping a lot and have had hiccups a couple of times today - so would it just be wind? Am I drinking too much or too little or maybe too fast?? (I've been having a couple of sips at a time)

It is entirely possible to have indigestion on liquids. Being newly banded, even the liquids might be going down slow.

During this early stage, you are already doing the right things in taking it slow and giving it time to go down. This is only temporary and will get better once a couple more weeks pass.

I'm 5 days post op and have the same feeling on full liquids. The dr said i should pretend that every thing is very hot and just gets sipped. (which makes me laugh cause it takes me so long to eat a half a cup of Soup that i have to heat it up 3 times) :scared2: I do notice it mostly with my Protein Shakes and they're the thickest thing i'm drinking so that might be it. not really painful but uncomfortable for a moment or two. good luck

I had lap band May 12, 2009. I also have been experiencing this for a couple of days now. I was wondering the same thing! It it's good to know it gets better. The gas / burping /hiccuping pain is the worst! ugh!:scared2:

Hey Tegan I noticed we were banded at the same time. What are your goals? And Susan D we have almost the exact same start weights and goals! Let's keep in touch and do this together!! :scared2:

Hi . . . this is my first time posting and it was great to see so many other women who were banded at around the same time I was. I got mine on May 11th and I am finally starting to feel human again. Still have a little shoulder pain, but being able to have cream of wheat this morning instead of just SF Jello made up for the pain. Hope you guys all continue to do well and hope to keep in touch as we go through this crazy journey together!
