Gas X will not work on the gas pumped in your abdomen. Walking and heating pad and your pain meds will help.

The gas pumped into you during surgery is completely different then the gas you normally get, so gas x does nothing for it. Getting up and moving around is the quickest way to disburse the gas.

I stayed ahead of the pain with pain meds and also took gas x. It wasn't a bad recovery.

Had my surgery this morning also, was doing great until tonight. Gas pains getting worse, doing a lot of walking and breathing exercise, has x strips, and it's not helping yet. When people are saying they stay ahead of the pain, are you taking more pain medicine than the recommended 4 hours?

Nope, I took pain meds as directed. The walking was really the thing that helped me with the gas. It really did get better each day though.

      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?

      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.
