I'm 9 months out and still get them occasionally, though not as much as I used to. They are so weird, because I can't really feel them coming. They're just suddenly gurgling up. The sound reminds me of creaking ropes on an old sailing ship, so I just make occasional pirate noises ("Arrr! Arrrr mateys!") and let it go. Totally normal, right?

I have them and I don't know what they are. After a little Googling, I still don't know what they are but have discovered WE are not alone. Many, many WLS patients have them and while it doesn't solve the mystery it at least helps to know it is relatively normal.

All day everyday. Just gas. I think it feels good.

Yep totally normal and totally irritating. I notice mine more when reflux is more active or had. Try some gas-X and make sure you are taking PPI.

Awesome you look great!!

I would just like to share my newest NSV. I wore this dress to my best friends wedding last night. It may not seem like a big deal to some of you but I haven't worn a dress since I was 12. I wore it and I liked it!! I will be adding more to my wardrobe I blocked out the others for privacy. It was pretty exciting for me. At 267lbs I didn't look good in anything form fitting. It was a special night all around. It's the little things that mean so much!
Update: Picture of the back of it for the ladies interested in it.

Wow wow wow amazing all of you!!

Lmao!!! Totally chuckled thx ; )

It gets better sweetie. I was in excruciating pain for 2 weeks. Once the 3rd week hit, pain was GONE. hang in there

Have you considered the possibility that you are under estimating how much you would've eaten verses now? Reason I ask is what you're describing seems pretty small to me. Im pre op and lets say I made what you said for Breakfast, wich I do pretty regularly, I would've had probably 4-5 ounces of ham, 2 eggs, 1 slice of cheese, and 2 pieces of bread. And I wouldnt have been "stuffed" either. Maybe surgery has changed what you think is alot is actually not? Just wondering.

Well, good on you. I, on the other hand, cannot have chocolate or ice cream within a 10 foot radius without wanting to eat it until gone. No amount of restriction can stop me, either. So for now, I must abstain or gain weight. Call me weak. Call me an addict. But that's the way it is for me.
Now, where's this cake we've been speaking of?

If it's sugar free, why not???
Idk if we are actually allowed that, I don't see why not. Switching to sugar free EVERYTHING is quite an accomplishment itself. I'm gonna ; ) 1/2 cup factored into my day and calorie plan. Why not

I couldn't sleep on my sides for 2 weeks. It was miserable.

nice!!! Good for you!! I'm almost to. This week I been 201, 202, 200, then 201 lol. Can't wait!!

I told EVERYONE!! I'm not a good liar so when I return Monday 40 lbs lighter, I will rejoice with them. Lieing is not one of my gifts : / or I would have. I did want to tell anyone but I know me. I would have felt like they knew anyway and knew I was lieing. Out 6 weeks, 40 pounds less lol. I even thought to say it was my gallbladder but my luck my gallbladder will need to be removed upon my return lol
You don't have to tell... you do what's right for you.
