Does anyone get bad gas after a fill for a week or more?



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I had my fill last Wednesday and since then I have been having pretty bad gas and stomach upset. I did liquids for two days and mushy for two days and then on to solids but I have no appetite. I have PB'd once on a cold liquid yesterday morning. I waited an hour and then sipped some hot tea which went down just fine (thank God! I really don't want to lose this fill!!!). The rest of yesterday and today, liquids are going down just fine and last night I even ate a low fat hot dog just fine after peeling off the skin! . So, everything seems to be going down with the exception of the cold liquid yesterday morning and I think that was because I took a giant sip right after I woke up. But my stomach has been just not good. Lots of gas which can be heard across the room, some burning in my stomach too, lots and lots of gurgling. As a result I really don't have an appetite. I think I ate about 500 calories yesterday. Basically, my stomach feels just about the way it did after surgery. Anyone else experience the same thing? I'm hoping it's normal!!!

I had my 2nd fill yesterday and had to take gas-x this morning when I woke up. I feel bloated and my stomach hurts. Not hungry either. I didn't feel this way after my 1st fill.

      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.
