So I was sleeved on the 13th of june. 4 days out and I feel pretty darn good except for the CONSTANT gas. Does this subside at some point. Any pointers of how to handle it. Doc says no meds that coat the tummy....help! Lol

I hate to beat a dead horse but are you walking ? That is the only thing that really helps.

Well today was a bad day because we ended up in the airport and in planes for 15 hours.

Tomorrow I will walk my ass off

Thanks

Walking. And my doc allows Gas X dissolvable strips-- they've helped me so much!

walking and gas strips..... I know the plane was needed, but it probably didn't help at all. Good luck!

      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.
