Belching?

Well I am 3weeks postop and I realized I have been belching. They can last for up to 30 seconds to one minute. Usually it happens when I drink and take the vitamins. By the way I am still on fluids and introduce yogurt and cream soup. I was just wondering if anybody else had this same experience..

On the 22th of February I am going to be 3 months post op and I belch constantly. When I drink water or eat anything. I belch back to back for few seconds. Personally, I think belching comes with the territory. Hopefully, it will get better along the way.

Belch away! It's good for you. Yes I do it too. Not a lot of room in there anymore so all the air has to go. I don't think of it as bad manners just a necessary thing I have to do.

Yep, we belch. However, as time passes, your pouch will grow to be about 6 ounces (as opposed to the one ounce you start with). So the belching will lessen somewhat. :)

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
