Hey Qtney...glad to hear you are doing so good! I'm still hunched over when i walk. I've been taking my pain meds like i'm supposed to..so hopefully a couple of more days and i will be back to new!

I'm having gas pains like crazy and wouldn't you know it..i don't know how to make my self burp!! lol my sons have tried showing me how but no dice!

i'm glad to see you've been out. I've been plastered in bed and in the house. I guess today i will venture out into town to buy some stuff. i'm still on clear stuff until tuesday then it's back to protein shakes. I can't wait for the mushy phase!

This is my 5th day since surgery, and I do have a lot of gas. Not much for the first couple of days tho, lots of shoulder pain which I understand has something to do with the gas. Whenever I do anything other than sit or lay, my shoulder hurts. My incisions haven't really hurt at all. I miss food too. I am not at all hungry, but I will be so ready to eat (chew) again. I have lost 5 lbs since surgery, total of 21 lbs since 9-8-10. Easy to lose when I'm not eating, sure hope and pray that it still comes off when I start eating. Glad your are doing ok, and Latin Starr, sorry you had a bad issue w/pain meds.

I'm glad you 3 are all doing so well - congratulations. It gets better - really! I was banded 7/15/10 and just had my first fill on Friday. I've been doing really well and have NO complaints! My advice is to just keep doing what you are supposed to do and let the band work with you. Best wishes!

I had surgery on 9/29and have gas pains that I can't get rid of. I am taking Mylanta, bto no avail.

I am also very nauseous. Does this mean I am sipping too much?

Hi everyone. I had surgery on the 28th so 4 days ago. It was just day surgery so I came home like9 hours later. The pain was not to bad. I have been taking my liquid pain medication every 4-6 hours. Yesterday my gas was really bad but today it is feeling better. Today i had a little chicken broth, jello and a protein shake. i tried the ones from the bariatric place and could not swallow it. I ended up having a slim fast ready made shake. good luck to everyone. Keep us all updated

Jamm64 i've been doing gas-x i'm not really sure if it's working or not..but i'll stay on them. I felt really nauseated yesterday...it's an awful feeling.

Hi everyone. I had surgery on Sept 17 Lost 14 pounds and looking for more to loos ..it feels great I have been reading all of your comments and what I see most of you have gas pains I did had the same problem then I went to my local Health food store and bought Pepogest this are all natural Peppermint Softgels for gas. Hope it will help you as it still helps me.

My doctor's office said for gas pain, just makes sure it has simethicone (sp?) 40 in it....I've also been walking like no other (just being up, around, and out), so that may be helping to keep it at bay. I do find at night, when I am laying in bed with the hubby, that i can't stop tooting, though **blushing**
