Have you been walking? Like a lot? You should try walking every 30 min or so. And gas x strips. All that helps

Diet ginger ale contains gas so that won't help. Besides, now that you are banded, you need to stay off carbonated drinks.

Have you tried a heat pack, walking around, gasex? I hope something works soon and if not, hopefully you can take comfort in knowing that this is only temporary. Hang in there!

WALK , WALK, WALK..It really will help with the gas...and as strange as this sounds if you can lay on your tummy at all try it, worked for me..The walking for some strange reason does help and I has so much pain on the left side of my back area I could hardly move my arm on that side it was bad so I understand..Good luck to you. :-)

My doctor was going to prescribe pepcid for me, but I was already on nexium for acid reflux. I had some gas, but it passed.

My problem is BM's - I find it very hard to go. Anyone have this problem? I was banded 6/13

If its the ginger u are after then open a ginger ale and leave it till the bubbles have gone, putting more gas in your system seems not such a great idea, a heat pad and Hot Drinks, plenty of Water and walking did the job for me ..

      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.
