The gas for me has gotten better just in the last day or so. I have been walking a lot for sure but maybe it's also just a time thing. I went to bed feeling still like crap and woke up feelin not so bad. Longer recovering than I was told!

I agree the gas pains have gotten better though I still have some of the shoulder pain. I am feeling pretty good for the most part, still sore and can't sleep on my left side. I am a side sleeper so my sleeping isn't the best yet but hopefully with each new day, it will get better and I can again sleep on my left side. Hope and pray you continue to improve.

I pray we can be free from this part of the recovery soon! I want to feel good about the surgery and look forward to happy days of my knee's not hurting and being able to walk up the stairs and not be out of breath! But this gas pain got me wondering what's worst!!!lol All I can say is hopefully ''this too shall pass"!

It will pass, I am feeling better but still have the left shoulder pain but not near as often as it was. I am down 11 lbs post surgery in 7 days :) 25 since starting pre op. We will get through this, we will. Keep your chin up

      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.
