Try going out for a short walk. It helped with me.

I'm sorry that you are uncomfortable...walk, walk, walk...that is the "magic pill" in this case. While it might be hard to believe, this will be in your rear view mirror before you know it

I agree with the above. Walking helps gas pains better than anything. The pain and discomfort will pass!!

I also had surgery on Tuesday, so I'm right there with you! Make sure that you are walking like everyone says... I actually feel good when I'm moving and hurt more when I've been sitting too long.

Also don't let your pain meds wear off yet. I accidentally did that yesterday and boy did I know it!!! If they said to take it every four hours, take it every 4 hours. Plus gasX is helpful too :-)

You can also try alternating ice and heat. I forget which does what, but they both do good things to help with healing and pain.

Good luck!!!

Even when you aren't walking, doing something like rocking in a rocking chair can help a lot. Any kind of movement is good.

      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.
