I am one week post op, still on clear/thin liquids only. Every time I drink more than just a sip or two, I notice that I get an uncomfortable pressure in my lower chest/upper stomach area. I wouldn't call it pain, more like a tight feeling, almost like if you have swallowed something too large. Then usually a giant burp and I feel better. I have never burped so much in my life. I feel like a giant baby, drink a couple of ounces and then burp, drink some more......burp.

Anyone else have this? Normal? Do you thnk some gas x would help with this?

I was burping all over the place right after surgery...and still do...this is a good thing...breaking up all that gas and added air when you swallow...keep it up Healthymama2!!!

What's going on is totally normal at your stage of the band.

You could be swallowing a lot of air when you are taking sips of your Water. Especailly if you are drinking from a bottle. Try getting tiny medicine cups and drinking from those they will help you learn how to take tiny sips and not gulp the fluids.

Gas-Ex or Beano will help but get used to the noises your body makes as you will be honking and tooting quite a bit.

LOLRH LisaCaron!!! that is soooooooooooo true!!!

very normal. i was like that for the first week but by the 2nd week i was doing better.

I've had a lot of little burping, gurgly noises and hiccups since my last fill. Uggh.

The hubby was laying in my lap after dinner, my stomach was making noises! He asked if I was still hungry! That was too funny!.. I can always feel it but had no idea you could hear it!

Burping.....just wait for the constant farting! LOL I am 4 months post op, and it doesn't go away. Oh the things they don't tell you before surgery.

Ahhhh so true, eventually it does get better because you get used to it, and so does everyone else
