burping? lol

ok....does anyone have any problems burping? they seem to get stuck all the time and when i finally do burp it's some tiny little thing...as far as coming from the other end i'm a champ....is this normal? also i've been dying for a sip of soda....will i really get violently ill if i have one little sip?

I do the baby burps too. No one ever hears but it cracks me up. As far as the other end, my first was just a couple days ago. And, it was funny because some of my friends who've had the same surgery said they drove their families out of the houses due to the "noise". And, stay away from the soda!!!!!!!!!! * Cyndi *

I don't have the same problem with tiny little burps getting stuck but MAN do I burp a lot! And sometimes really loudly. I wish I had no problems with the other end - but I do.

I burp quite a bit...but they're not "tiny" burps and they don't get stuck. As for the other end...no problem there.......doesn't happen too often. Thank God! I have tried like a single sip of a diet soda on ice with no problem. Nothing more than that. Courtney

I had the burping at the beginning after I got home from the hospital. Early on it seems no matter what I consumed I burped. I've noticed this past week (4th week post-op) I haven't been burping. I'm glad they're gone!!

that may be a sign that you have had enough. I get the hiccups. I tried 1/2 a can of diet pepsi - I let it sit about an hour to lose most of its fizz, then I had it on ice - it went down just fine. But honestly I prefer water now.

I was told that carbonated beverages were a no-no because no matter how long you let them sit to go flat, they still cause bubbles in your pouch. The danger in that is that it can and will expand your pouch causing you to be more hungry! Hope this helps! It scared me away from soda! That's for sure! Also, I have the burping problem too! I have to keep apologizing to people as I'm talking with them! How embarassing! Nanci
