When Does The Gas Get Better?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved monday the 27th. So far i haven't had bad gas... until today. Now everytime i move and especially when i drink i can't stop belching. It's really uncomfortable because i can feel it making it's way up my sleeve. When I'm drinking i can feel it fighting to get around. I take tiny sips and make sure I'm not gulping air at the same time. I'm only drinking broth, Water, and G2. Other than the gas the only pain is from my drain and i don't have any nausea.

Gas X did nothing for me. I chewed it all day yesterday. Today seems to be a little better. Still have lotsa gas but it doesn't hurt my sleeve. I hope it stays that way!

I am three weeks out. It took about a week for it to be completely gone. Day 6 for me was a huge corner that I turned. It will get better each day, and walking was the only thing that helped me. Force yourself to get up and walk around. It really truly helps.

      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.
