Hey everyone. I am 4 weeks post op and find that I hate to eat. I hate the full feeling I get so quickly and the burping after is very embarrassing. I am happy I had the surgery but just down in the dumps this week I guess. Anyone else feeling this way??

I felt that way also...get use to the burping that is going to last for a minute...I got to the point where I didnt want to eat at all....I just drunk shakes all day...but this to shall pass....u gotta treat ur new tummy like a new born's tummy...its adapting to its new size.

You know, I never...ok really rarely get the burps (thank god) but I'm also told by my doc that this is a sign you might have eaten too much. How much are you eating at a sitting? That might be part of the problem.

The restriction we hate early on is the restriction we paid for to lose the weight though sometimes it sucks to get what you paid for...but try to think of it as a good thing!

I can have literally 2-3 bites of food and start to burp. I get it when I drink too. I just have to get through my food withdrawal and over my addiction to food. Thanks for the help

Are you taking a PPO? It sounds like you need one.

I burp when I'm too full or when my stomach is empty, either way. Dr. said I'm doing fine just slow down and avoid bread. I'm at 5 weeks postoperative today and I'm also avoiding eating because of the discomfort-still having 1-2 shakes a say. I prefer softer foods like yogurt; tuna and chicken feel too filling for the tiny amount that I can get down. I take my ppi st thing in the morning as I wake up to a rumbling tummy-then the delightful burping starts! (So attractive to my husband, I'm sure!)

Sssaaammmmeee here lol.i rather drink then.eat
