I am one week today. Certain foods make the gurgling act up more than others. Yesterday was my first cream Soup. Delish? Yes! Gurgle, burp, gurgle? Yeah! I ate a gasX chewable to help. Was allowed to have GasX even in hospital. Now I eat one before soup or broth. Even though they are fat free, they still bother me. This morning, however, the gas pain was pretty bad - marching in place and pumping my arms like an idiot helps it escape! (Such a Lady, I am!-lol)

3 day out. Was wondering if I can take Gas-X strips. HELP!! The nurse at the hospital said I couldn't take them. Thanks guys.

Call your doctor's office! There were some things the nurse told me not to take/do but when I called my doctor, i was told those things were ok. Go figure!

Thanks' date=' my time!

I'm doing very well. My parents have been amazing at helping me remember to sip, sip, sip & Protein, Protein, protein! My only issues at this point are that my navel incision is still pretty sore & my middle back is killing me. (Well, those things AND the amusing gurgling!!)

How are YOU doing? You must be on phase 4 by now, right?[/quote']

Phase 4 startes Monday. I have been sort of I a stall for the past week and half. Only lost 2 pounds. I know. That is better than not at all. Feel great though. Still get tired after work. But getting better. Let me know how you progress . BTW, did you get my PM last Sunday?

Hi Susan, I had my sleeve done the same day as you and my biggest problem is all of this gurgling... so annoying and loud. This def was not in my surgery packet or I might have reconsidered. A large part of my job involves taking business partners out to dinner. I already accepted that I would be ordering Soup but having my tummy be such an embarrassment is scaring me so much! I don't want to get laughed at or made fun of anymore!

I'm one month out and I gurgle more now that I'm progressing through the food phases. But, I can tell you I will take a little gurgling in order to be healthy! I'm so pleased with my sleeve and excited about the future, I'll take my noisy little stomach!!

      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.
