I started drinking my Water today(I had surgery yesterday) and it seems to be making more gas and gas pains, every time I take a drink I get a real big full feeling then gurgling then gas and pains. Are my sips to big? Or is this just normal? Is it helping relieve the gas? Can this just be a coincidence?

the gas is the worst part of this whole thing so keep walking and get it moving this is why I recommend you take a stool softner/laxative to get it all moving and out. Keep sipping or popcicles and your heating pad. you don't want to get dehydrated to add to everything else.

Yes mam, I am taking the stool softeners like you mentioned and I am still sipping on my Water and I added the Popsicle, Thanks for caring.

I'm on day 5 post op and Gas pains were pretty rough for the first few days. Take a gas aide, keep active by walking and yes... Sip sip sip lol.

You'll start to improve, I am still getting the gas pains but not nearly as severe! Good luck :) hope you improve soon!

Definitely keep sipping! You need the Water to help you keep hydrated and to keep moving things through. Everyone says to walk, walk, walk and that defintely helped me.

Congrats on your surgery!!! :)

I was banded May 3 and still get the gas and bloating as soon as Water or anything comes into my stomach. Downward Dog Yoga pose, bend over ....for me is an instant relief as it helps move the gas alot faster than waiting it out....they told me it will get better today when I went for my first adjustment so I really hope so as I told them the gas and bloating is so bad that I know that my social life is over if this keeps on. Cannot go out gassy like that...its too painful and embarassing...LOL..

      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.
