the more you walk, the faster they go away. take very small sips.

It took about a week for it to ease up for me. After that I was golden! Good luck to you!! I am 3 months out and feeling fantastic!!

I'm two days out and having pain swallowing too. I'm doing my best with fluids but it isn't easy. I'm hoping tomorrow will be a turning point because other than that, I'm good. Hope the same for you.

I'm on day 3 post-op and the gas/burping is unbelievable! Everything I try to drink gives me more air and gass! vanilla shake w/ H2O, broths and apple juice w/H2O. I'm trying to get my Protein in but the gass is really getting to me. I'm taking a prescribed med for stomach accid and eating GasX chewables-nothing is helping. I'm walking around the house-hurts to stand up straight still-not ready to be outin the world. I try to move my arms and legs while resting to get it out. How much longer (burp...scuse me!)???

I'm about 10 wks out and feeling great! The first few days, first week can be a royal pain in the #$%!!! Take smaller sips, basically get tiny bit of Fluid in your mouth and llet it slide down your throat. Took me awhile, because I realized I was a gulper. Just keep sipping. The gas hurts, belly sore, but, I had to really push myself to get up and walk. Even for a few minutes at a time. I, did this as often as possible. It really helped! Hang in there, rest when you need to, walk when you don't want, and cherish this journey!!!

Thanks for the advice-I think I'm drinking too much each sip. I'm thinking how can I keep drinking things that are making me feel worse, not better! I need to slow down. I'm trying to get up and go downstairs every hour or so and march in place and spend time with my family. The sun always rises after the dark...this too shall pass!

      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.
