After I eat a bite of food, or sip a drink of Water I get the "water-cooler effect" and gurgley air/silent burp or bubble noises that travel up my esophagus/throat from the food funneling downward into my stomach. {If you don't know what i mean by water cooler effect it's like when you press down on a water cooler noossle so the water can pour out, and then bubbles float to the top of the cooler} 1. Is this the same thing as reflux? When the food is funneling down into my stomach, the water cooler effect happens, sometimes with mini mini burps. 2. Is this just minor reflux? 3. Anyone else deal with this water-cooler action or gurgley air bubble noises/silent burp in the esophagus? -I dont have burning acid feeling or heartburn fyi. I dont have bad cough at night or wake up with sore burning throat. -I do sometimes get really loud hiccups. (My Dr. said it could maybe be from the tube of band tickling diaphragm) -Sometimes (very infrequently) I feel a throbbing pain at the site of my actual band after I eat. But then when I sit up with posture the throbbing goes away. I called into the Dr. office, they said it could be irritation because I take a birth control pill every night before I go to sleep and it probably sits and doesn't funnel down all night long, so it's just irritating. Or they said it could be from bad sleep schedule/stress. -Since I've gotten my band, I cant force a big burp like pre-band life burping. I get little mini inside body burps all day long, they just happen on their own (silent air burps) Fun Fact: The nurse that fills me at my Dr office has a band too. He said CC amounts are really different for each body. He said at 9.2 CC he can eat 2 Big Mac McDonalds burgers, but at 9.3 CC he can barely swallow water. So weird, anyone else like this?! Random Question: How come one day I can eat a large piece of pizza no problem, and another day I cant get down 1 bite of pizza? Besides flying, why do bands do this?

i hate how they sewed my belly button back. i want plastic surg now to fix it

just type in search mushies recipes or something like that. there are 100 other posts like this one further back in the reel of this forum my tips for mushies: get creative, make food fun, add in Protein powder when u can and incorporate stuff YOU LIKE. depriving urself of things u like will lead to failure later on because perfection is impossible to achieve.

u drink dr pepper? i thought they said soda was b-a-d?

Docs normally say no sexual activity for 1-2 weeks post op. What are the positions to do?. I would think the best are: something where ur stomaches not doing too much work. 1. off the bed 2. missionary but dont have ur partner rubbing ur stomach, have him holding himself up 3. doggy style
