I'm 4 days post op & I can feel the gas bubbling around all day long. When the gas finally gets to where I can pass it, sometimes it's a little messy :-( Is that normal this early out because of the liquid diet? Should I still have that much gas from surgery? All I have is Water, Isopure, chic broth & my meds. Also, am I giving myself gas by drinking out of the bottle? I can't stand to drink from those medicine cups any more? Please tell me if this is normal....cause it is extremely embarrassing!!!!

What you are experiencing is totaly normal. You are still getting rid of the gas from surgery. Your stomach and such are still recovering and adjusting too. Walking will help to get things settled. The bottle may be a small culprit. I would suggest trying a glass. I do better with that for most things. Just keep the faith. Everyday is one step closer to the new you.

Thank you. Glad to know I'm not alone. Are you drinking from the bottles?

I am not drinking from bottles. I have been using glasses. Even my Protein shakes I dump into a blender and add a banana or sugar free Syrup and then pore into a glass.

I think it really just is the air and gas they pumped into our stomachs working its way out.

      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.
