Everyone is different. I am 6 days out and my gas pains pretty much ended day 3. I occasionally still get some pain my left shoulder but that's usually after eating (well, drinking at this stage). Those first few days made me feel like it was NEVER going away. I promise it will! :-)

Mine stopped very suddenly. Days 1 through 7 were the same and horrible. Day 8 was okay, but still annoying. Day 9 and after has been nearly pain free. Most days I can't even tell that I had surgery.

I've said this many times on the board, but I think most of my pain came from drinking milk based products like Protein shakes. I've read several others that suddenly have an adverse reaction to milk.

keep walking as much as you can to get the gas out...and my shoulder hurt horribly until about day 8 and then it was gone..so even though its tough right now, please know that each day that passes, it does get better. keep sipping, keep moving and you must remain positive and upbeat in regards to this new tool that will help you lose weight.

I remember that the first 2 days were the hardest as far as pain for me. I would walk for 5 minutes at a time every couple hours until bedtime and I think that must have helped me A LOT because I didn't have that much gas pain. But everyone is different I think when it comes to the pain part, but it will for sure go away so hang in there!

I was banded the 26th and my gas passions were in my left shoulder and under my left ribs...they finally went away by day 7..but everyone is different, i got an allergic reaction which finally just went away around my incisions, but happy to say my incisions are pretty much completely healed, the only thing i have now is a pulling sensation in my right incision, but don't worry you'll feel better in no time, the time flys by!!

      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.
