Is this because of gas?



Recommended Posts

I had my 3rd fill a couple of weeks ago, and after that adjustment things have been ideal. I've lost 8lbs in just shy of 2 weeks. I was having very slow weightloss and a lot of problems with food getting stuck. Not anymore, I'm in band heaven right now.

This past weekend, I was worthless. By worthless I mean I slept constantly, sort of had the blues, laid around and did nothing. Yesterday I felt full all day, even though I didn't eat anything. I actually felt like one would feel after finishing off Thanksgiving dinner. Just full, and miserable. I had gas, it was obvious, I was burpy. I chewed on a couple of gas x and felt much less full. But I still never got hungry yesterday and eating was unimaginable.

Today I woke up and I was actually hungry. I drank some Water, and at lunch I had some chicken. It was very moist and there was no problem with getting stuck or anything, but it hurt like hell when it hit my stomach. I felt like my stomach was cramping up and sore. After just a couple of bites, I started with the burping and hiccuping.

Can this be because of gas? Is my tummy full of gas from not moving around this weekend? I feel so full! It's like I'm having something like hunger pangs but if I were to eat, it would make my stomach cramp. No nausea, no vomiting, no sickness, just a general crampy and full feeling.

It's irritating me.

I'm having the same thing!!! Except my stomach is making horrendous noises. It sounds like a war in there. I had a few bites of chicken salad on Saturday, and about 45 minutes after eating it, my tummy started to hurt. Then is got progressively worse until I was in excrutiating pain. It was awful. I sent my husband for some gas-x. It took about 20 minutes but I finally felt better. But I've had unusual amounts of gas for the past 4 days. What's up with that? Are we doing something wrong?

I sound like I have a litter of puppies playing in my tummy! I have never had this problem before, and like I said the past 2 weeks have been so great.

I had my surgery Nov. 20th of 08. I had stalled, and was having some problems with getting stuck, sliming, etc. Then I went in and he put a tad more in, and I started really paying attention to what and how I eat, making a conscious effort to focus on Protein. With the fill, I could totally tell the difference between full and stuck, I was doing fantastic. Well I am doing fantastic, except for this weird thing going on.

It has to be the gas. I'm capable of eating and drinking, I just don't want to because I feel so freaking full that I am miserable!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
