cek31076 7 Posted May 24, 2012 I was banned on Tuesday 22nd and I feel the worst bloated feeling. I feel like its a major hunger pain and it hurts until u feel a growl then it's better until the next pain... Normal? Also there is no way I'm getting all my liquids down. I can't drink them fast enough before running into the next time slot. Help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daisychains7 427 Posted May 24, 2012 This all sounds pretty normal to me. The first few days my stomach felt so gassy and bloated, I thought I'd explode. It will get better in a day or two. Also, make sure you are sipping on the liquids slowly. I find that warm liquids go down better than cold. Peppermint tea helped some of the gas to expel.

DeAna N 229 Posted May 24, 2012 Just keep trying to get it all in you need your nutrition up while you bdy is healing. I haven't be banded yet but I had my gall bladder removed by lap and the pain is tough and the gas moves around becuase it is trying to find a way out of you. I know you might not feel up to it but the more you walk the easier it will find it's way. If you dont feel like walk try to stand or sit up as much as you can it really helps move it down eventually.. that's my experience at least I hope that it is helpful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SageTracey 608 Posted May 24, 2012 The good news is that you are normal and the better news is that this too will pass. Hang in there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icestorm12132008 39 Posted May 24, 2012 get a heating pad and put it on your shoulder blades for the gas pain also gas x helps emensely but get the disolvable strips. Walk when you can and take your pain medicine. Rest you are only afew days out you are allowed to feel like doo doo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azhoselady 17 Posted May 24, 2012 All true. I was banded last Friday and I was miserable for 3 days.... Sometime on Monday/Tuesday I turned the corner. Do your best with Water and just like everyone says get up and walk around your house. It really does help! Welcome to the banded side!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
