Oh gosh' date=' I can't stop burping! Anyone else? That is the only gas I can pass, my stomach never gurgles, so not too sure what's going on.[/quote']

I only burp when I'm full. That's actually my sign to stop eating! When that burp comes, I'm done. Never fails!

Yes that's exactly what it was and your right. Allll the pain I thought was muscle pain was actually the infection. I feel much better now.

What did your Dr do? Mine opened once he took the staple out and he left it open to empty out and on its own and my hubby has to clean it once a day and make sure it stays open and i took cipro for a week and go back tomorrow to see what we are to do about the inch and half hole in my tummy lol im sure it will need ti be packed and changed daily with saline water soaked sterile packing or something

Great job!

Thanks!

I asked this question today. She said as long as it doesn't hurt it is ok and it won't sit in the pouch for it to stretch. But not to take several big gulps in a row. She said to still "try" to sip more than taking regular drinks.

Thanks for asking that! I have been wondering about it.

That sounds normal until you figure out what will and won't bother your pouch. I usually eat 1/2 cup at a time though. My pouch seems bigger than some people's.
