Help please... 8 weeks post op and new gas pain



Recommended Posts

Trying not to freak out but I started having some abdominal cramping a few days ago and it's become pretty painful. I'm pretty sure it's gas pain but of course all the scary thoughts are going thorough my mind.

Had a mild fever last night but also felt stuffy. No fever this morning and don't feel like I'm coming down with anything major.

Before I waste time at doc or ER for dumb gas pain, please tell me what this might be and how to get rid of the pain. I've tried Gas X and it helps a little may be... Haven't been able to have a good poo in a couple if days either so I'm sure that's a contributing factor.

Thanks for talking a girl out of a tree!

the more you walk the better it gets!! also lots of gas X , only you can judge if something is truely wrong, if it gets worse then you may want to see your surgeon, do they have a line where you can call and speak with a nurse? that might relieve some anixety

Sounds like Constipation. A friend of mine literally thought she was dying went to er, just to find out that she was REALLY constipated. She used milk of mag. Took her a few days for things to get regular but she's better now.

Yup! After some X-rays the culprit is a need for a few BMs. Can't believe the pain that can cause, I was preparing for some major issue!

      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.
