Yes, they are. It really does help to walk walk walk. Make sure you're keeping up with your fluids too. If Water is difficult on its own, make sure you add some MiO or Crystal Light to get it down.

Hang in there, it gets better!

I know I am 15 days out, it gets better, may not feel like it now. gas X is amazing, I suggest you buy it. By day 5 I felt back to myself. Good luck!

I just had surgery on 8/13 and I took Gas-X strips like candy the first 4 days. They help a lot. The gas has gotten a lot better for me recently though - I'm down to 1-2 strips per day. Do your walking and take the Gas-X and hopefully it will get better quickly for you as well!

I was told by my doctor that gas will be bad in the first few days but will subside, just hang in there.

      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.
