No matter what I eat, while I am trying to eat and afterwards I have a feeling like I need to burp and I also have a weird feeling in my throat that I can't explain. I am 2 1/2 weeks out and only eating the approved mushie foods. It's very aggravating and it makes me want to stop eating after only a few bites. Does this happen to anyone else? This happens no matter how fast or slow I am eating and I am not drinking before during or after eating either.

I burp and hiccup all the time from almost everything I eat. It's pretty embarrassing... I have a desk job at a social service agency and my boss (who knows I had the surgery) said I was being disgusting. I got a doctors note stating that this is completely normal and there is nothing I could do to help it. That shut her up.

So, it is something normal? I was afraid I had messed up somehow. I am so nervous about eating afraid I'll totally mess everything up.

I feel the same but I dont always burp, sometimes it is just a girgle. I have it all the time, I am used to it now. It is completely normal.

I'm do glad you posted this question!! I have the SAME problem--probably worse!! I burp, gag, and spit constantly. This surgery has turned me into the most repulsive person!!

I burp constantly

burping is normal you might try to slow down eating or eat a little less and it will go away and for the other feeling I had it it always left I had a ice cube or something else stuck in my esophagus. It will go away.

I Hve the same issue. I Would love to know when this ends. Any of you older sleevers still have this issue?

My first week I burped every time I ate or drank anything. That sort of has resolved. I still burp occasionally, but mostly when I've hit my "full" point.

I think I burp more when I eat too fast-- and therefore, too much. If it eat really slow, it's not as bad. But i'm definitely a burp machine right now. Hopefully, it will go away with time.
