I'm Currently Trying The Campbell's Soup But Just Draining The Noodles And Things Out, But I'm Also Suffering With BAD Pain Feels Like Gas, And I'm Afraid it May Be Coming From The Campbell's Soup. What Do You Think?!

I love the individual broth packets that you can get from Trader Joes. Low in sodium and sugar.

I had my lap band on Friday- oct 5. Those gas pains are from all the air they pump into you. They are very annoying. Even Vicodin doesn't relieve the discomfort.

i Had My Surgery On Friday, October 5 As Well, And These Gas Pains Are NO JOKE!! i Can Hardly Sit Up in The Bed. My Overall Goal Right Now is To Burp, Which i Haven't Done Since Before Surgery. Lol.

Gas x, a good laxitive and a heating pad does the trick as soon as you have a BM you will feel much better its like any other other surgery you need to get the colon working, and walk a around the room several times a day that willl help

I made a big pot of home made chicken broth b4 surgery then I had that and cream soups(made with water) it was good. Lose 7 lbs the first 3 days post-op.

I've used the Swanson brand of broths. They come in several flavors, they also make a low sodium version and are 99% FF.

I preferred stock has more flavor. When I got more desperate for real foods I switched to straining Campbells Soup. I would'nt bother with low salt broth your food choices are boring enough. During full liquids I added Mrs Dash salt free flavorings to Soups before heating to up the flavor.

OMG those gas pains are really annoying, I burp alot but still there ,, I had lapband OCt 4th, I'm feeling alittle better, but it's just the gas pains, and I'm kind of afraid to drink more than I have to thinking I will damage the band.

If you have hypertension or issues with renal function, you should not load up on sodium, as per my PCP's instructions...and if you read the nutrition labels some of those sodium content numbers are astronomical...

My husband & I both have hypertension so I always get the big cartons of Swanson's low sodium, ff. Can't wait until in gets cooler in FL & I can make all my Soups. When I'm on mushies I plan on blending them. I know they will taste good.

Make your own chicken or beef or veggie then you can control the sodium

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
