Eating Seems To Make Gas Move Around And Hurt



Recommended Posts

I'm 7 days out, and every time I put something in my stomach, I get gas moving around, and it makes it tough to take another bite. I think there is still gas from the surgery in there. I am moving around often enough that lack of walking is not the issue.

Anyone else experience anything similar? I sure hope it isn't the liquid diet foods causing me gas--or if it is, that it's temporary and gets better.

Walking and exercise is best thing , your body has to absorb the gas they fill your gut up with, it can take several weeks to work its way out!

That's good to know...I wondered how long the gas sticks around. I thought less than a week, but at least I feel assured it's gas and not some kind of intolerance forming. It's strange how I feel the presence of the gas when I eat.

GNC total lean vanilla, strawberry. Had Bariatric Advantage vegetable Soup sample, today. Yoplai Greek low sugar yogurt, Propel Zero Water, regular water, a couple calcium chews, Carnation s-f chocolate pkt with organic skim. That's about it. There are a bunch of other things on the stage 2 diet, but these are the basics for me...and I have to work at getting them in. I reached about 50 Proteins, today...and tomorrow, I hope to reach 60. Getting the Protein is very important to me...i just wish I had something with a lot more protein in it in one or two spoonsful...then i wouldn't have to worry about eating at all.

Sorry had to ask ,making sure you weren't one of those people puttin a bigmac in the blender and Calling it liquids , haha . My experience with food was similar only to find out it was the chewable multi Vitamin at the root of most of my discomfort, I kinda remember some people eating MUD =protein powder , your choice of nut butter and enough milk to make it like cake batter, obviously less volume& dense Protein, I never tried it ,I didn't make

My way here until I was a couple months out. Hope that helps. Good luck

      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.
