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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
