Is it possible to have indigestion on just fluids?



Recommended Posts

Last night and tonight I have had indigestion. Well I at least I think that's what it is. I have been sticking to my Fluid diet. I just feel as though I have something caught in my throat or something - which I know is pretty much impossible...

Anyone else had this?? Have any ideas of what it is and/or how to get rid of it faster. It's not painful or anything - just an uncomfortable feeling.

Oh, I forgot to add that I have been burping a lot and have had hiccups a couple of times today - so would it just be wind? Am I drinking too much or too little or maybe too fast?? (I've been having a couple of sips at a time)

It is entirely possible to have indigestion on liquids. Being newly banded, even the liquids might be going down slow.

During this early stage, you are already doing the right things in taking it slow and giving it time to go down. This is only temporary and will get better once a couple more weeks pass.

I'm 5 days post op and have the same feeling on full liquids. The dr said i should pretend that every thing is very hot and just gets sipped. (which makes me laugh cause it takes me so long to eat a half a cup of Soup that i have to heat it up 3 times) :scared2: I do notice it mostly with my Protein Shakes and they're the thickest thing i'm drinking so that might be it. not really painful but uncomfortable for a moment or two. good luck

I had lap band May 12, 2009. I also have been experiencing this for a couple of days now. I was wondering the same thing! It it's good to know it gets better. The gas / burping /hiccuping pain is the worst! ugh!:scared2:

Hi . . . this is my first time posting and it was great to see so many other women who were banded at around the same time I was. I got mine on May 11th and I am finally starting to feel human again. Still have a little shoulder pain, but being able to have cream of wheat this morning instead of just SF Jello made up for the pain. Hope you guys all continue to do well and hope to keep in touch as we go through this crazy journey together!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
