Extreme Gas in Morning!



Recommended Posts

I was banded on May 6th. Over the past week, I have woken up every morning due to extreme gas. I seem to only have this in the morning and taking Gas X before bed doesn't seem to help. Has anyone else experienced this lovely side effect? Do you know how I can prevent this or what may be causing so much gas? I am still on my full liquid diet and have not cheated at all.:(

I was banded on the 10th and let me tell you, the gas is the worst!!! Yesterday I started having sharp pains in my upper left abdomen which I know is gas, but dang it hurts!! I was up every hr last night bcuz of the pain. I burp a lot too!! I've been taking the gas x strips not realizing that the chewables are way stronger!! So try those if your not already. I think what makes the gas worse is if we are eating to fast and/or we are not exercising everyday..these are a must to prevent and get rid of gas!! WALK WALK WALK!!! Also stretching might help move the gas out too! Good luck and hope you feel better soon!!

I have been banded for a little over 2 months... I still burp after eating... thats probably from eatting too fast... But I have gas every morning or when I lay down... I dont know why but its when every I lay down that it builds up... its not smelly or anything like that but I can give my husband a run for his money on how loud it is!! lol I know that is probably more than you want to know... I think its hilarious but I just assume its just trapped air...B)

I'm having the same problem. I was just banded yesterday am. I couldn't hardly sleep last night for the gas pains. I finally got up and sat on the couch to sleep. I can't seem to get it to move down at all. Any suggestions

Mandy I was banded yesterday also. I have a lot of gas and I am belching it out. But, if I lay still too long it builds up and won't come out. Driving home from the center yesterday I had to make my husband stop and let me walk around a parking lot because it was so bad. I am getting rid of it by walking which makes me belch.

Hope you are feeling better.

I was banded on 5/23 and still get lots of gas. I find the hot water bottle helps a lot. My surgeon also prescribed prevacid that dissolves in Water. Let's see if that helps.

I was banded in mid April and still have way more gas than I used to. Maybe all the high Protein foods I'm eating? Anyway... I'm just learning to live with it!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
