Burping, All The Time

Does anyone else burp all the time? I'm 11 days out - doing great.

Averaging a pound a day of loss (mostly Water at this point, I know).

I feel fine.

Incisions are healing well.

I'm not getting anywhere near enough calories, but I'm trying.

Walking for exercise.

Getting most of my water in, everyday.

Had my first beef yesterday. My husband ordered a 1/2 pound burger (weight before grilling) I took 1/4 of it, tossed the bread and veggies and ate half of my portion. So one once of groud beef. Chewed really well. And had no problems from it. One ounce was plenty because it was so dense and I was nervous to eat too much.

But I burp, man I burp. All the time I burp. I had 6 sips of coffee this moring and I'm burping. It's not about being full, which is what I thought at first. It's just burping. Not sliming, Not PBing, just plain old, everyday burp.

Does anyone else have this same problem? It is embarrassing. I feel like a crude drunk Sailor.

Like Cazzy said, it sounds like you are eating solids too early. Everyone's Dr is different, so I just hope you are following the post-op diet recommended by the Dr.

As for the burping, I had extreme burping for two-three weeks post-op. I think it has to do with the gas they pump you up with and being full. It did go away after awhile. I only burp occasionally now.

I remember burping a lot in the beginning. Don't think I do it as often as before. Or maybe I just don't even notice it anymore!

I'm 9 days out, and I'm burping all the time too.

I had some edge (blended though) for Breakfast, and it was nice to have some 'real' food.

I am 14 days out and still burp when I eat or drink. I am trying to be really careful and not eat quickly and drink little amounts at a time but still burp like a pro. Glad to hear it will eventually go away.

I am following my guidelines pretty closely. I was 3 days early on the beef yes, but this is with Water and everything and has been going on since day one. This isn't the early beef.

Btw- if I hadn't had the beef I would have killed someone and therefore be in jail being fed bologna sandwiches!

.. it could also be that you are gulping in some air... without knowing it. Thats how i feel, thats ive somehow taken in air with my chewing and it wants to come back up again. it seems that most of us here have the problem with it. Tonight however, i had a good tea, took my time with it, well over a half hour. no burping at the end of it so i reckon taking it slowly meant that i didnt take in so much air.

My fiancé was banded almost 3 months ago and he burps constantly. He also eats too much and too fast but only his doctor can yell at him for that...

As for me, what I lack in frequency I make up for in volume...I sound like a truck driver!

Boy, yes! In the beginning, I felt like a frat boy with all my belching! It has calmed down in the last few weeks, though I do still burp more than I did before surgery. I think it's just a matter of there being less space for gas to escape through, but that's just my theory.

I still get a little embarrassed, but luckily my friends and family just find it amusing. :P

Everyone's doctor's orders are different. I was on soft solids 7 days out of surgery - per my surgeon.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
