Walk lots of Water and a hot shower really relaxes you. Also the leg exercises lay in bed stretch out calf mucsles and then raise your knees to stomach. And try to pass gas or burp.

Drinking how liquid helped me alot. I had horrible gas pains for almost 3 weeks. The hot liquid helped me as soon as I drank it. It wasn't a cure all, but between that and walking it sure helped

As a nurse we tell post op patients to walk, warm showers and drink warm liquids and gasx. Unfortunately there really isn't anything else I'm aware of. Maybe some old wives tales somewhere? Just make sure they are pouch friendly!

I had a friend to massage my upper back and that help to relase the gas for me along with lots and lots of walking.

Try peppermint or ginger tea. That helped me a lot.

      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.
