Are you constipated? I feel that way when I am. I suffer very bad from Constipation. I have tried everything and nothing works. I drink a tea called Smooth Move by Traditional Medicines and it helps me a lot.

Also it decrease the risk of bloating increased gas. Think of the Water coolers that bubble up air when you change the bl. Sort of!

Hi thanks everyone. Yes I tried the milk of magnesia it helps and i also realized that eatting a lot of carotts can cause bloating. I have another question. I got my band several years ago but sometimes when i lift something heavy or work out i get pain in my scar area. has anyone else experienced this?

      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.
