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?

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).

I've literally had nothing but Water, diluted apple juice (maybe 1/2 a cup total), a Popsicle, a spoonful of Jello, and a drink of Gatorade g2. 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.

I had my surgery 7/11/13 and have not had a BM yet. 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.

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.

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!

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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
