I am a week post op and the gas pain is killing me. Im walking, dropping Gas X strips like they are candy and Maalox and still no relief. Im scared that this will go on for ever. I can take in anything since if gives me gas. I am barely able to get down my protein drinks, and absolutely forget anything creamed. Even drinking water is killing me. I have called my clinic and they told me to hang in there that it will get better. I haven't even thought of food because the pain is ridiculious. Help. Tell me this is going to get better. Is there anything else that I can be doing to get some relief? How much longer will this go on for.?
