Every time i eat any thing i feel like i have air in my stomach and i'm burping real loud or maybe it is my bodys way of saying i'm full?

Hey all !!! I glad to see everyone is doing good. I also am having problems getting the protien down.and have some really bad gas it feels like i have so much air in there if i was ever to burp or toot i would blow the house down (hahaha). Is everyone still on liquids for another week i'm so tired of broth if anyone has new recipes please share.

Welcome:):rolleyes2: good luck to both of you !!!! My journey started in april and i was banded on 10/29 and doing fairly well. I also have found this web-site to be full of information and very helpfull.

I was also banded on 10-29-2008 and i have been unable to get all the protien in that is required each day. I think mine is due to me biting my tongue durning surgery it has been so swollen that it is hard to drink and also talk. I hope you get to feeling better real soon

Hi all!!! I am from denison,tx and was banded on 10-29-2008 . I'm still on liquids for two more weeks.i'm also 5"3' and weigh 229lbs i'm down 10lbs from the fourteen day liquid pre-op. I'm looking for a buddy to share our progress and trade recipes.

Hey everyone!!!! This is the first day i have felt up to letting you all know that i'm doing ok, i'm very sore and have had a quite a bitt of pain. The really worse for me is that some how durning surgery i bite my tongue completely threw and it is so swollen and sore that i can hardly talk (good for dh)haha and it feels like i have a mouth full of cotton all the time can't wait for it to be better. I'm still on clear liquids for two more weeks but have not been hungry i half to force my self to drink, very hard due to the tongue. As far as constipation my dr said to use miralax or milk of magnesia not no fiber laxatives! And for gas or bloating to use gas-x chewables i'm going shopping tomorrow and will put these in my medicine cabinet. My return visit to dr is tues and i hope back to work on wed's. Good luck to all i pray that everyone is doing good and we will all be healthier for doing this.i will check in again tomorrow
