Massive Bloating everyday, all day.



Recommended Posts

Hey,

I'm a veteran bandster, but this issue has been looming over my head.

I have this problem almost every day, and I'm really embarassed that I have this highly annoying, life disrupting, severely uncomfortable predicament. I was hoping you guys had a clue what's going on, or can pinpoint what I'm doing to cause it is interferingwith my life. I have severe bloating in my abdomin. Here's my day...

I wake up, make coffee (nothing different there) and sit down and watch the news. Suddenly my stomach will bloat to the extent that I look and feel pregnant. I lounge in my shorts. My abdomin really hurts and since it's bloated, it needs room. So I have top pull my shorts under the fat on my hanging abdomen and set loose this monster of a tummy. Or pull the shorts up to my chest, Sometimes it works, sometimes it's non-existent. It hurts right now.

I have not noticed any changes in my diet. Maybe I'm just feeling common bloating, but does it usually happen every day?

And so bad? This is a new problem, a few months.

fellow experience/knowledge/advice/and just gentle kindness is what I need.

I will gently say you should see your surgeon or family doctor. That doesn't sound normal and while there may be an obvious solution I cannot figure out why it's happening and you cant either ...so maybe it's time for you to get checked out to make sure nothing serious is going on.... Best wishes.

How's the bowel movements going? Could be the back end causing the bloating?

      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.
