Hey everyone. I'm also two days post op and have been having a lot of gas pain. I've been drinking Water, walking around, and of course taking Gas-x. It helps, but I'm still in pain. I see that people keep mentioning heating pads, and this may sound stupid, but where would I put the heating pad to help with the gas? Thanks!

U might not ever get rid of the gas, I had surgery in Sept 2012 and I still get the non stop belching or well u know lol I tell people just don't get to close lol mostly us girls and I just try to stay far enough so I don't get embarrased if guys r around and about the heating pad I had a rough time so I just used my hot water bottle on my back but they also say to put a lot of pillows behind u , I know when I did I could sit & sleep better I could also get up eaiser but if the Doctor prescribed u pain meds TAKE THEM ALSO SIP SIP SIP that's my only suggestion that worked for me but try diffrent things so u can find the one that works for u .

      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.
