I get to eat something on Monday! I can't wait!! Let me know how it goes. I would htink that the burping is probably normal after not having anything for a while......

I think the burping is normal. Every time a piece of food goes down for me, I feel the gas bubbling up starting with the first bite... And when I burp, I'm not sure if the food won't come up.. not fun

Lol so burping is normal !!

And yes, first bites you dont know if the food will stay down or not... I start work on monday.....how fun :S

Thank you guys, i feel better knowing i am not dying for eating tuna hahahaha

Burping is the new norm post op,, it lessens but at 7 months i swallow, then burp. swallow, then burp.

I don't burp, but I gurgle like a kitchen drain!! It is almost like I am going to burp, but I don't!!

I use to do it when I would drink anything and eat. Now at 8 1/2 weeks out I only do it when I eat. My dr. told me that it WILL stop! That is encouraging because it is sooooo annoying!!

Why didnt the Dr warned us about burping !

Had more chicken earlier today and yeap.....tje same. I think i rather stay with mushy foods !. I was able to eat 4oz of mushy foods and barely 2oz of solids.....

Will each stage be as painfull ....will anything be easy !!!!.

But....it did taste good :)

I am 12 weeks post-op and can pretty much eat anything I want to try. Every transition (from mushies to softs, etc.) hurt my stomach. Right now I have to increase both calories and protein grams and my sleeve is rebelling at each meal. My whole body reacts to tell me when I have eaten enough.....I burp, I hiccup, my stomach makes gurgling sounds, I sneeze and my nose runs. With all that going on I do get the message to STOP EATING now!! Its actually quite funny. I think burping is very common and I agree, its not something that was mentioned to me before surgery.
