Congratulations on your surgery. To help with pain use a heating pad. The heat helps. The nurse had told me the gas wants to leave the body and has no place to go.

For a little relief, lay in a recliner with your hips and legs a little higher than your body. The gas will move to your hip area where there is more room and then when you turn upright again your body will absorb some of it.

Then walk, walk, walk...

I was getting severe gas pains Nothing worked for me not walking, not a heating pad, not gasx, not tums... I ended up calling my surgeon they gave me a pill that dissolves under my tongue also that same day i started taking 1 Fiber Gummy. It helped me tremendously i am 1 week post op still have slight gas but nothing like before

      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.
