ouch gas!
So last night, after my last shake and broth infused with cumin and chili powder- I had major pressure/pain in my abdomen ( under ribcage and around the back a bit too... I was trying to not freak out and think I was having a heart attack ( hello I have panic disorder so that was HARD) so I paced my apartment for a few minutes and I started to burp... Big burps and the pain diminished every time I did...
Tonight I am finding myself feeling like I have to let out lots of burps because I can feel the pressure build up in my stomach area , but I am having a difficult time getting it out... When I do burp however.. major relief until it comes around again...
So people... am I having a heart attack or does opti cause people to be burpy?

yes you're having a heart attack. burping is the number one treatment for heart attacks ... 
sorry Chanelle, its called gas I think. Any and all major changes to diet can cause it. If you really think you're having a heart attack call 911. Seriously!
IAN!!!! lol did I mention I have panic disorder?! I will not over react.. baha lol. I don't think its a heart attack if I am functioning fine otherwise?? Just burpy and feels like i am full or pressure/gas in abdoment/rib cage area. I will call 911 if it gets bad... however I can tell you that the hospital has given me MANY ECGS lol... because of the panic stuff lol!!!

That's a LOT of liquid!!! And I know for me when I drink too much liquid I get gassy! Did your dr tell you to have that much water? It seems like a LOT! I would slpw down... Drink slower. Maybe sut out the spices next time and see if that helps (didn't u just start adding spices yesterday?? Maybe your tummy doesn't like them)

I did start spices yesterday and after last night I refuse to do that again lol. The guide book for Ottawa recomends 3L of water while on opti. I am hoping this isn't a problem for long it sucks. lol

. I am getting my surgery DATE tomorrow! 
Sounds like gas. Changing positions and physically moving your belly around can help. Don't forget all tha****er. It can help to dispel gas too. Two things to remember, better out than in, and better the attic than the basement. 
Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.
