I remember coming round and wanting to burp and it just wouldn't come out, it was as though it was stuck in my chest. I thought 'Oh no. I'll never be able to burp again ! Why didn't anyone tell me that?!'. I did belch eventually but only the once. I still rarely burp and a trump is so rare I announce it to the whole household with pride!! So glad you had a good ride and are recovering well !

Welcome to Loser-Land!! ![]() Reading your post reminded me of how bloody much I burped (and farted, I'm not ashamed to say!!) whilst on the ward recovering! I kept apologising to the other ladies on the ward but the nurses kept telling me I had to do it as it was dangerous to try and hold it in!!!! Put the fear of god into me that did!!!! ![]() I still think it's brilliant that I don't really care about food in the way I used to - I can quite happily see or smell other people with food without craving it or thinking I'm missing out. I'm cured!! I'm cured!!! |
