I honestly never had any gas pain from surgery. I know others HAVE had gas pain like you've described. I was thinking that Gas-X strips worked for that, but maybe I'm wrong. (That's been known to happen before.) Walking is the best thing for getting the surgery gas out of the system.

Yes, it lasted 7 days-__-

Only thing that moves it out is moving our bodies

Take your pain med and start walking walking walking

The worst pain for me was the surgical gas... It was like a constant unrelenting labor contraction...

I'm so sorry your hurting but walk walk walk... It will go away it just takes several days of moving

The residual CO2 bothered me for about a week. I was walking every day but it just wanted to hang around.

OMG YEA! I was sleeved on 2/14 and I STILL have bad gas! I'm just starting to fart which is like throw a party I'm farting! I am taking gas x strips a couple times a day, walking, and using a heating pad. I would feel so good without this gas pain! I mean my belly is a little sore from main incision sight but that's it! I am able to eat and drink with no problems. Good luck to you

      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.
