shelbyschroepfer 35 Posted July 14, 2013 I'm looking for advice on gas but not the gas from surgery, the gas you make like burping hiccups and farting. Those has been KILLING my stomach. The otherwise pain isn't bad at all but the constant gurgling and lurching is really hurting it. I have had some BMs so I'm not worried about being constipated. I'm just drinking Water, diluted juice, and had 1 Popsicle since Wednesday so I don't think I'm eating anything I shouldn't be. I looked for gas strips but only could find mylanya gas relief chewable tablets. Which of course taste like chalk and old mints. I did chew 2 of them a few hours ago hoping for some releuf before bed and have felt absolutely none. Hasn't gotten worse but definitely hasn't gotten better either any ideas?

Slave to Senor Sleeve 40 Posted July 14, 2013 I realized I burped more in the beginning because my sips were too big. Once I measured 5ml out and learned what that felt like in my mouth, my burping improved a bunch too. I was sleeved on the 8th so it will get better. The farting is different. What are you eating? I just started full liquids and each day added a new thing (yesterday milk, today yogurt, tomorrow Protein shakes). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mainly sipping Water and its very very small sips because my throat is still sore from the breathing tube. Just sitting up right now every few minutes is a constant rumbling like I'm going to have diarrhea any second but when I go and try I don't have to. But again I have had regular BMs so I'm not worried about that. Starting weight 321- sleeve date 07/10/13 Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not much gas yet just a little bit I can have anything I want as long as it is liquid, I eat Popsicle, shakes green tea and Water, flavored water. Good luck on your journey. They pumped in 10 pounds of Fluid in me in 1 day and now I have to get rid of that plus my own weight but not much pain. 1 pernelopy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSGJourneyGrandma 19 Posted July 14, 2013 My surg was on 7/5 - I had and still have LOTS of that noise from my stomach. Sometimes it feels like hunger rumbles and other times it is just noise like before diarrhea. But, I actually do have diarrhea. I have had it since day 3.

Eleni95 5 Posted July 15, 2013 I had a horrible pooping situation post op. on the second day, I farted a lil and leaked liquid stool. For two days after that, I had zero control of my bowels! I had liquid uncontrollable diarrhea. I literally **** the bed. It was horrible. It eventually eased up and passed! Good luck! Helen.

NoneYa 380 Posted July 15, 2013 My surgery isn't until tomorrow so I can't relate yet. I dd find and buy Gas-X strips though. They are in Walmart pharmacy (mint) and at the Dollar General ( cinnamon). They blended in with other gas products and I looked right at them for a few minutes before I spotted them. Maybe look again or ask a sales person because any pharmacy hould hae them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
