Hey Everyone, I was banded Nov 30th, 5 days ago. The pain of the incisions isn't so bad anymore, and the soreness is bareble when compared to the day I got back home. But I'm struggling with really bad gas pain. The minute I begin to sip on my drinks the gas in my belly starts and it is so strong. It pushes upward as if it's trying to come out as a burp but it can't and makes me nauseous. Besides that, I'm also beginning to get hungry, and with the hunger comes the feelings of depression. I see my family eating everything I love and it's driving me insane. I know that the whole gas thing is temporary, but I'm just at that early stage where all I see is the discomfort. Please let me know if you felt this way through your journey? Thanks!

No protein yet. The doctor's office said just clear liquids

Hello, I've done some walking but maybe not as much as I should. I find that it hasn't helped me all that much, but maybe I need to do it more often, I'll take a long 30 minute walk tomorrow during my lunch since there will be no lunch to eat. :/

Thank you! I knew all these things prior to surgery but I guess nothing truly prepares you for it until you go through it. I'm starting work tomorrow, so hopefully going back to my regular routine will help me get my mind out of all the food that sorrounds me, and the gas pain. Thanks again

Yes I've been taking gas X which helps pass gas, but the gas in my belly seems to never go away. Five days later is no better.
