Burping

i am 3 days post op. i am taking more fluids today than i every have. Here is my question or concern. After i drink fluids, i burp. I no longer have nausea or vomiting which i did on the day of my surgery.  Is burping normal? what am i doing wrong?

I am two years post op and can remember the burping. Everyone is different. I would not say you are doing anything wrong. Just remember to take small sips and that might help. Congratulations on your surgery. I hope everything else is going well for you.  Cheryl

Hey Coast Lady, Congrats on your first steps.  Yes burpring is normal and a pain.  Get familar with Chewable Gas-X tablets.  They seem to work for me and lots of walking.  I agree with my angel's advice of taking small sips.  I also learned that if you sip water on the down beat of breathing when you exhale than inhaleling it minimizes the air that is going down in your tummy.  I wish you all the best.   HIJACK! Hey Angel I haven't seen you in ages?  How have you been?
