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

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.
