Fills and Gas

[cestrada 0]

I had my surgery in July and I had my second fill yesterday and its nothing like my first one. My first fill was 2 months ago and it was 3 CC's which is the max supposedly and things were fine However yesterday when I went in I told him I was still hungry sometimes so he put in 1 CC more and today im feeling so weird. All I had this morning was gerber and the Naked Protein juice and the sugar in it made me crash. Earlier I had a cup of chicken broth with very small pieces of avocado and I am super bloated now. I cant burp and I have horrible gas. im wondering if I maybe I am too tight cuz although everything is going down its a series of burping in about 24 hours I can start eating solids again but I am scared that anything is going to get stuck.

The same thing happens to me after a fill. Sometimes the gas makes my stomach hurt--a heating pad fixes that--but it goes away after a week or two.

It seems like some people don't have this happen at all. I think I am just extra sensitive. I also have the burping kick in more after a fill and then it lessens over time. I use to never burp. I thank my lucky stars that I live with all boys because they think the burping is cool, even the DH.

I would take returning to solids very slow. I reintroduce soft foods one at a time and then solids over a week to two weeks also one at a time. When ever I don't follow this I have problems.

If you are not getting stuck on liquids you should be fine. Just take it slow and good luck.

I do the same thing... i can't burp after a fill. It drives me crazy and then the gas has to go somewhere so I get bad gas pains in my lower intenstinse. Sittin in an office all day is not easy as you have to "hold' it in and that just makes it worse... I think the best part of my day is when I hit the car afterwork and just let loose! TMI I always giggle to myself as I am driving down the road and think if that person at the stop light next to me knew what was happening that would be so embarrassing:blushing:

But I have noticed as soon as I am able to burp again, I can eat more and need a fill again. It has been averaging 3 weeks of restriction and then it get lose again...

Not sure what to do about the gas, but I understand. If you come up with something that helps let me know...

The only thing I have not tried is Beano... Has anyone tried this?
