QUESTIONS ABOUT GAS

[x4achange 3]

I WAS SLEEVED ON 9-15. I'M HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING Water AND Protein IN ME WITHOUT SPIT COMING UP INSTEAD OF BURPING.MY DOCTOR RECOMEND WALKING NO MEDS. ITS DRIVING ME INSANE. SO FAR IVE MANAGED TO GET 8 OZ OF WATER AND 4 OZ OF PROTEIN IN OVER A 4 HOUR PERIOD. DOES ANY ONE HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON STOPPING THIS FROM HAPPENING? IF I DIDNT HAVE THIS PROBLEM, IT WOULD BE EASIER TO GET THE FLUIDS IN, MY DOC WANTS ME TO GET IN 48-64 OZ OF FLUIDS AND 60 GRAMS OF PROTIEN MINIMUM. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

im so sorry your having such a hard time, its likely the swelling around your stomach, my doc ordered me reglan and all kinds of iv medications for the swelling and acid and everything while i was in the hospital, i think it really helped post op. i am having very little issues getting in my protein. matter of fact i can drink a 11 Fluid oz carton of Atkins advantage Protein shake in about 15-20 minutes. its different for everyone, it so change for me in the future as well! so just take your time, push your Fluid intake, concentrate on hydration first then your protein!

You are doing great! I could not hit my Protein or Water targets until about a month after surgery. Keep sipping your fluids, if you have to choose between protein and water, choose the water. Pretty soon you will be able to get it all in, but for now do the best you can. 12 oz every 4 hours is probably 6 oz more than I managed on day 3. Sip, walk, burp, repeat. If you are foaming, take smaller sips and wait longer between sips.

THANK YOU BOTH FOR THE ADVICE. MY HUSBAND FOUND SOME GAS-X chewable AND I TOOK A SMALL SLIVER AND IT HELPED TREMENDOUSLY. SO WILL THIS FEELING EVER GO AWAY. WILL IT CHANGE WHEN I START TO EAT SOLIDS OR WILL THIS BE A PROBLEM FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE?
