When does the gas go away? That gas that makes you feel hungry, but you're really not hungry because it's GAS??? Ugh! The GasX strips help, but will I have to take them for the rest of my life?

7 pounds lost! Yay for you. I am so happy for you. I obviously cannot tell you when the gas goes away but am so looking forward to finding other's replies. I will tell you I complained to Dr. Campos about the same thing. Told him I was starving and my stomach was grumbly. He said it was gas and would last 7-14 days. Holy moly!

I am so proud of you weight loss so far. I have nothing but I blame it on the lack of a bm and all the gas. I am so excited to watch your progress. xoxo to you, and your beautiful family!

Bahahaha!! Tiffy is so right!! I'm glad to know that the gas is temporary.

Jennifer, the 7 pounds was what I lost during my preop diet. I haven't weighed since a week ago Monday, I don't even own a scale. My plan is to weigh myself every Monday when I go to work on the same scale to see what I've lost. I despise scales and refuse to own one, I would totally be one of those people whose life gets consumed by it. But I'll sure let ya know when I find out Monday! :) I already feel like I may have lost a bit!

      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.
