  Good Monday Morning Everyone,

Hope everyone had a great weekend.    Mine was very busy.   I spent most of it in San Antonio with my son in Teen Challenge.    I was home yesterday though to spend time with my husband and 2 other sons and DIL.    Happy Belated Mothers day to all you precious Mom's out there.   Today I am so grateful for my family and the joy that they bring to my life.    Grateful for all the changes happening in my life.   My middle son is planning on getting engaged when he graduates Teen Challenge......I will have a grand daughter in a few months and life will be good....not that it isn't already.   LOL   So grateful for my life and my health today.   PLEASE share with us what you too are grateful for today.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

To me, with my experience, it could be any or all of the things you asked if it could be. Portion size is so very important. It HURTS if you eat too much, BADLY..at least in my experience. Most of the time when I have burping, it has been because I have eaten too fast. Slow and easy is good advice. Don't count on fills and unfills as much as chnging the "way" you consume your food...as small as those amounts may be. Hope this helps.

When I was early out I realized I had a warped idea of bite size I should eat. When people say a bite the size of a pencil eraser that is exactly how small it needs to be. You may also be swallowing alot of air as you chew and if that is the case you can try gas x strips to help get rid of it, it helped me alot. It just takes some time to figure out how to eat once you get restriction. Good luck just take it slow and easy!

 Hi There,
I am not a band patient but I can give you my experience with burping.    Usually that means that you are full.   I know I have a niece who is banded and she said that is how it works with her too.   Good luck on your journey.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

It sounds like you may be eating a bit too much. If you are burping a lot everytime you eat, I would recommend getting a slight unfill. Good Luck!

Ok. I got Banded in September and have had a few fills since my surgery. The most recent fill was 2 weeks ago after an upper GI to check the band flow. This is the first fill since my surgery that I am actually being limited to the amount of food i can eat. I have had a couple of PB's also which has not happened before.

I realize that i need to learn how to monitor my portions and am getting better.  My question is that every time i eat i end up burping a lot right after. I am just wondering if it is because my band is too full, if i am eating too fast, if i am eating too much....I can't figure it out.

If anyone has experienced this please help me out and provide some insight. As i said this is the first time i have encountered this amount of restriction. 

Thanks

  Good Morning Everyone,

Well....here we are again....and it is thursday and the weekend is ALMOST here.    I today...right now are SO grateful that I am a Mother and that Mothers Day is this sunday.    That being said I usually don't get anything from my 3 sons.    I figure that if you don't expect a gift then if you get one it is great.    LOL   Tomorrow AM early I will be leaving to go spend saturday with my son in Teen Challenge.    He has now got less than 90 days left in the program.    I am SO GRATEFUL for the person that he now is.   He is a totally different person.    So I guess today I am grateful for the trip and grateful for ALL the POSITIVE changes that have taken place in his life.    PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today.   Have a blessed day !!!


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
