I used the gas x strips. They helped me a lot! I am sorry you are hurting.

The gas you are experiencing is internal. The only way you are going to get some relief from this is to walk it out. Many say a heating pad can help, however do NOT put the heating pad on your belly. Gas x strips you can try. Um, twirl your arms in circular motions (like a windmill).

Walk, walk, move, move around.....

wish you luck, it will pass!! Hand in there!!!

Thank you everyone

I walked and walked around my office

The gas moved to a different spot

Then I came home and layer on my left side with a pillow under

Ate a little plain Greek yogurt

Feel somewhat better

Glad tomorrow is Friday

You guys are a big help !!!

      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.
