I'm 5 weeks out and I burp every time I eat. I'm embracing this as part of the healing process and make no excuses. It seems to be lessening. Not using a straw, eating very slowly, I'm on pureed foods now, some soft. Maybe it's just the stomach being so small, any tiny bit of gas wants to escape?

Hello: I was starving for 2 weeks post sleeve. Thankfully, my hunger decreased drastically after. I'm now slightly vulnerable to hunger sparked by smells, commercials, etc. I combat the "sparked" hunger with sipping water, broth or sugar free popsicles. Looking for more interesting popsicle recipes.

Congratulations on your success. Great job.

Hi, 5 weeks post gastric sleeve. I'm having 1 -2 bouts of diarrhea per week. Can't determine a dietary cause. Still on mostly pureed foods. One time caused by cottage cheese, but then tried it 3 weeks later and did fine. Once was a soft egg, but other eggs were ok. This makes going out concerning, having no clue when it might strike and when it does, it's extreme. Ideas? Suggestions? I've started keeping a log of what I've eaten just prior. In general, very positive post surgical experience and 22 lbs lost.
