A lot of times the nausea is being caused from the pain medicines, most pain medicines by nature cause nausea, therefore for a lot of people decreasing there pain meds will help with the nausea, If that does not help or is not possible for you then ask your dr to prescribe an antinausea like Zofran, ondancetron if you are not already taking one, if you are already on an antinausea maybe ask your dr to try a different one since they don't always work the same for everyone. As for the gas like has already been said walking is best way to relieve it in my opinion, but if you can't do that then at least try to stay in an upright position as much as possible, I personally slept sitting up for the first 3 weeks post op. Good Luck.

HI. Dont laugh at me but why not have someone take you on a car ride . the bumps along the way help the gas , move around. It helped me when i got out of the hospital. ( since you cant walk so easily)

      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.
