Burping and sign of fullness



Recommended Posts

Vets...do you still burp? I had surgery 2 years ago in May and ever since then my burps have changed. It's like I hardly burp, it's a really tiny amount of air that comes out. It's not even anything that anyone else can hear, I can just feel it happening. I physically cannot burp a normal burp no matter what I do. Wondering if this has changed for any other vets.

The little tiny burp that I have is also my sign that I am full and it's time to stop eating even if I don't feel totally full. My nose also runs. It has been this way from the beginning. Do you still have a sign of fullness? I am wondering if having a sign of fullness will eventually go away or if it will be with me for the long haul.

I think the decreased burping is due to us having less air in our tummies. We chew very well and take small bites, so we are swallowing less air while eating. I know what you mean by "...just feel it happening"! I get little air bubbles all the time (while drinking or eating), and it's usually a sign that I'm eating or drinking too fast. I sometimes pat on my chest a bit to bring the air up.

I still get a runny nose! I never had that symptom associated with fullness pre-op, but I most definitely have it now.

I do burp lots more than I used to. Everyone in my family has commented. Thank goodness they are small burps. I do not burp or hiccup when full like some do. I burp later, sometimes hours later.

Tummy rumbling and embarrassing farts also have disappeared just about. Somewhere a little further out. Maybe by year two?

I don't remember the last time I burped. I thought it was because I never have sodas anymore. My sleeve does make weird noises from time to time.....like it's trying to call the mother ship some days.

As for farting, mine hasn't increased but my wife's gasses have increased tremendously since she started the paleo diet. Holy mother.....has it ever.

Oh my word! I can remember at one of my last massages being mortified because my stomach made these horrific gurgling noises the WHOLE TIME! She said, "You must really be hungry!" I just kinda laughed and thought, "If you only knew!" lol

I don't burp - I hiccup - 7-8 times if I get the least bit full

So it sounds like some burp and some don't, but we are fart...lol. Seriously though, I am wondering why I can't burp. I guess it doesn't really bother me. Even if I swallow some air the air comes back out but it's not really a burp like it used to be. I'm not trying to be gross or funny, just trying to figure out why my body doesn't make a noise and let out a good burp.

The noise in my stomach isn't nearly as loud as it used to be. That seemed to calm down for me about 6 months ago. Once in if I eat something that doesn't sit right it will start rumbling in there. Still no burp though!

I do burp sometimes, but the weirdest thing is sometimes right after I swallow it feels like a stream of tiny bubbles works their way up. It makes a small noise but I'm not sure if anyone else notices.

If I get too full, it affects my speaking voice. And I hiccup a few times, which is pretty uncomfortable.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
