I had my surgery yesterday and had no gas pains in my shoulders. But today I have bad gas pains in my stomach. I'm not sure what your feeling in the chest but it is definitely hard to take deep breaths here. The heating pad has been working great.

Use a heating pad on your tummies & shoulder pain. It helped me. And boy, I beltched like a sailor those 1st few days :)

i was having gas pains in my shoulder and did lots of walking but still that did not work, I read somewhere that someone sat in a rocking chair and rocked it that helped.....so I thought I would try to ride my exercise bike for a few minutes to see if i could get things moving......IT WORKED......just did like 5 min. then walked and heating pad and I was burping and passing gas....LOL :)

I am day 6 post op and my major gas pains just started yesterday. I literally wanted to die just to feel better. I felt like I needed to burp and it wouldn't come and I felt like I needed to poot and it didn't come. I tried a supository thinking maybe that would relieve some of the gas but all it did was make my stomach hurt more. I feel a little better this morning but I felt just fine yesterday morning too. It wasn't until I started having my shakes(my post op diet) that I started feeling bad. I had immense pressure in my chest. I am assuming that is where the band is? I am just hanging in there and know it will eventually get better.....right?

      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.
