Walking is best. I still have an occasional gas hit but nothing significant. I hope you start feeling better!

Oh honey its normal. I had gas pains until day 9. I went and got gas x pills the best things ever. Ever since I started takimg them the pain has been gone. Only when I try to go eat something I get gas again but when I'm done I take another pill and feel better again. Those gas pains are bad. Hope this helps!

If it makes you feel better I almost spewed on the treadmill at the gym due to gas build up This morning .I'm 2 weeks out and burp all the time especially when I eat . In the morning my stomach sounds like a pride of lions going off , due to gas . I'm not taking anything for it but after this mornings little episode I'm going to go and get some .

I had the same problem (8 days post op), I broke down today and had some cream of mushroom Soup and cottage cheese. I checked with my doc and was told to take it slow. My biggest problem was the chocolate/vanilla Protein drinks. I really struggle with those and have put them in a small glass with ice to make it more palatable. Good luck though it will get better!

Sleeved yesterday and doing great! No incision pain at all. A bit of gas pain high in the chest, PA says that's from the hiatal hernia repair they did. Been up wandering the halls a lot because as you know getting good sleep in a hospital just ISN'T going to happen, lol.

Probably going home tomorrow, staring on 1oz Protein cups today along with my ice chips.

So happy and surprised with the ease of it so far, hop that continues!!

Welcome to h sleeved side Alene, how you doing??

Yes ive had this too....honestly burping didnt help me....I had try and lay from side to side and get the gas to move around to be expelled that way. I was advised NOT to us gasX (sent my hubby to buy the strips for tongue) it was to be natural process of coming out. Can I ask what nausea meds ur on? My doc has me on the Scapolomin patch behind my ear, zolfarn tabs that go under ur tongue and then I have some liquid stuff...I forget the name of it. My advice would be to insist on something new for ur nausea...and then walk around ur living room....its honestly the only thing that helped me. Hope some of that helps. What meds r u currently on for acid and heart burn?

Day 14!!!! Doing pretty good. Gas pains are gone and belching after I eat is my sign to stop eating immediately. I am getting my fluids in pretty well but I am so over the Protein shakes!!! But I know I have to get them in so I keep trying. Yesterday I had my first real vomiting episode, out of the blue I got nauseas and hurled. After that I was fine and nothing was different so not really sure what I did wrong that my belly didnt like. I hope everyone is doing well, good job!
