What Can We Take For Gas.....



Recommended Posts

Hi Lanna,

Your gas is 'internal' and from what I read the best results you will get is from walking. The more you move around the gas will move and will eventally dissipate. Other things you can try is Gas X strips, and even a heating pad (be sure not to put the heating pad on your belly).

Hang in there it will get better...

Like Patty said above, please try to walk as much as you can, I did not start feeling better until I got up. Even right after I woke up after surgery, I felt really bad, but as soon as I walked around I felt a hundred times better. Although, like Banjo said, I took Gas-X strips the following week after surgery, so not sure if that helped too or not. The strips dissolve on your tongue.

Why no heating pad on the belly? That would have been exactly where I woyld have put it. Phew! Thanks for the tip.

gas x strips were good for me, plus for future referance buy some mirolax powder for the up coming constipation...gross I know just wish I had known sooner.

      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.
