By eating you mean drinking right? Try super tiny sips no more than 2 oz every 15 mins. might have to experiment with temperatures to see what suits you best.

I am post op day 7. Days 2-4 were the worst as far as stomach pressure/ pain with stabbing in my back,chest, shoulders, etc. My belly looked like i was 9 months pregnant it was so distended! The Gas-X won't help b/c like others said the gas is in your abdominal cavity, not your GI tract. I didn't try heating pads, so I don't know if it would help. I can testify that walking gave me the most relief. It's pretty damn uncomfortable for awhile- but by day 5/6 post-op you should be a lot better. Hang in there!!!

My surgey was Monday afternoon and was sent home tue afternoon.. I've been following plan of clear fluids. Now supposed to do full liquids. I have shoulder and belly gas, but also intestinal gas bad. Just rolls around and then I burp or fart. Some diarrhea also. But was constipated prior to surgery.

I'm taking zofran for nausea pretty much routine and levsin for stomach spasms routine also. liquid Vicodin for pain.

My own meds include NEXIUM at night, but still noticing some vurping and heart burn. Lots of belching and farting. Walking around my house as much as posible. No hunger. I am concerned that my wt is still up. I was 304 am of and 310 Tue. Now 308

Looking forward to tomorrow. I'll be bummed if I go to week pstop and I've gained wt and I'm not eating!!

Exact thing last week when I was sleeved. Your stomach is just swollen ,., the majority of mine we away my third day home as was able to drink 3 shakes a day . Just sip slow and stop when it hurts !

I was concerned about a weight gain as well. They told me it was because of the IV given during and after the operation.

Feeling much, much better. Do move arounds and still no farting lol they were concerned with that at the hospital but once i passed a few bowel movements they seemed not to be as concerned. Im sipping away and a little discomfort but pain. Thanks to all those that talk off the ledge for the most it was pretty easy. So far no buyers remorse!!

Never trust a fart at first. It is likely to be more than just air. I think I am finally getting over the runs. That has been the only negative for me so far. I walked more than 12000 steps today in two walks.

The weight will come off. I gained 23 pounds in the hospital By three weeks post op I'm pretty sure most if it was off.

Pammers I caan relate to that about the weight gain. I was 234 on the day of my surgery, and when I came home 2 days later, I was 244.! They must have put a lot of Water and air in our stomaches to operate on. My Doc did tell me that he puts water around the stomache and then puts air in it to make sure that there aren't any leaks. So I'm just going to blame the weight increase on him, I certainly haven't been eating anything!
