Start walking the more you walk the faster it goes away. I know I wanted to slap everyone who told me to walk but it works

Agreed try to walk as much as possible, it helps to relieve some of that pressure. You'll be feeling better soon. Congrats on the surgery! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!!

The gas defiantly goes away with walking and believe it or not it even helped with my pain.

The gas pressure was awful for me too. It lasts several hours. I had one pocket right under my rib cage and the next day in my side. Walking - yes! I also found changing position helped alot too. I must have used 10 pillows to support my moving around :). Gas pains stopped by day 3 - relatively short span of time though painful :(. Hang in there... It gets better."

It took me a couple of days to fart LOL. Burping was no problem. The gas they blow u up with is in your abdomen not ur digestive tract so it dissapates as u move around it doesn't come out of you orifices

      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.
