I'm day 9 and mine is pretty much gone. Once in a while my left side feels a little tight and I'm a little sore but that's it. Are you taking the gas x strips still? Hope it gets better soon!!

Yes, the gas does dissipate... and the time it takes varies as everyone is unique. You are definitely doing the right things to get through it.

By the end of the second week, I was feeling good again, and only knew I had the surgery because of the changes in my eating and continuing healing of my incisions.

Gas X will not work on the gas used during surgery... The gas is in the abdominal cavity gasx only works in the intestines.

That gas is the worse! It will eventually go away. Just continue to do what you are doing! So many have expressed other ways to get rid of it and I can say I did it all so can't really tell u what works!

      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.
