Gas pain - 2 1/2 days out



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I've gathered strength to type to see if anyone can provide me any suggestions. I have so much gas pain still in my chest and shoulders. My nausea is getting a little under control but I still have spouts. I can't walk outside from about 7am till 8pm. It is too hot and humid that I do not want to chance an infection with the dirty sweat (over 95 degrees).

I'm confined to my house right now for any walking. It's been so painful. I would love any other recommendations.

Thanks in advance. Newley sleeved!:thumbup:

Gas x and walking as much as possible in the confines of your home. Day 2-5/6 are the roughest IMO. Just try the gas x and stuff and it should work itself out...but it sucks, i totally agree.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I went through it for about 1 week and 1/2 and now it's gone. All I can tell you is that it does pass :thumbup:...hugs.

i too had bad gas pains, its from the gas they put inside you during surgery so they can move around in there, for that reason its not really gas like we think of it and walking is the only thing that helped me the gas x did nothing. However i have read posts that said a heating pad helped?? it was too late for me to try as i was passed that point when i read this but maybe it will help you. I hope you feel better soon.

      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.
